A New Chapter in Life

It's 6:39am. And, he's really gone. On board the 6:55am flight on route from San Jose to Chicago, where he'll get on another flight to go to his final destination. I know we probably could have sued. Not sure if we could have won or not, but we could have fought this more. In the end, he sucked it up and went through with it. I know many people would question my rationality, but I believe we can't fight it if it's God's plan. Everything will fall into its place.

We may think that it’s by our own strength and skill that we make our way, but who do we think gave us our abilities? (Deut. 8:17-18) And, if He knows and meets the needs of the flowers and the birds, how much more will He do the same for us?
Matthew 6: 25, 26-27, 33-34
Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear ... Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? ... Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Trust in the Lord for giving him all that he needs.
