Today I am thankful that there is balance in the universe.  Call it what you like, yin/yang, chi, ebb/flow, what goes around comes around.  Our brilliant Creator put order and balance in play with His first command to take that which was formless and give it form.  With each act of creation He provided opposites to balance each other out.  He gave us light and separated it from the darkness; land was divided by water, creatures of the water and the land, male and female – even good and evil.

Each end of the scale has its place and purpose.  In life we have seasons of serving and seasons of being served.  When those seasons get too out of balance one can find themselves either exhausted from pouring out and not being poured into, or they could be found wallowing in being needy.  There will always be those among us in need, but even the least of these has the ability to do something for others.  Time is free.

Yes, I believe what goes around, comes around; what you sow you will reap. However, it is not our role to be continually looking around the corner to reap quickly.  Sometimes it takes a while to arrive on the other side of sowing.  Just as you can’t rush the oceans movement from high tide to low tide, you can’t rush the laws of natural balance.  The journey between the two is what forms our character.  All we can be responsible for is our role, attitude or place in the great balance of life we live in.

All the best,
