The Big Picture

Sometimes people ask me where I work. When I tell them I work at a golf course at which one it is the reponse is something like, "Oh, that is such a nice course!" My reponse (to my self) is generally something like, "Yah, whatever." They don't work at the course so they don't see the wet spots, the ruts, the bumps, the bare batches...and on and on and on.

Is your life like that? Are you seeing the bumps and ruts and missing the beauty that others see?

One day at work recently, I was thinking, "Why do I suck at being social?" Here is the thought that came to me. "Because that is the way I made you and I got a plan."That's doesn't mean God doesn't want me to improve in this area but let's stick with my original thought shall we.

My social ineptitude is a bump, BUT God sees the BIG PICTURE. He's got a plan for me. He's got a plan for you. Maybe we need to step back every once and awhile and take a look at the big picture and not the details.
