This Week's Reflection

 

We live in a world where apparently random events are happening all of the time. But there is no such thing as random - everything is cause and effect.

 

We live in a world that is often characterised as cruel - "Why would a loving God let such things happen?" - but, everything is cause and effect.

 

Many years ago, when our youngest would do something untoward, she would claim that is was an accident - I used to say to her (and still do!), I can't wait to meet this Ann Accident, whoever she is - because "accidents" don't happen - they are the result of someone not paying attention and, given that normal crazy people cannot pay attention, so-called accidents are often the result of nobody, not a single person, paying attention. Everything is cause and effect.

 

Apparently random events in our life present us with opportunity.

 

First of all, an apparently mundane apparently random event provides us with the opportunity to... pay attention - obvious really.

 

But some apparently random events are what might be described - or actually should be described - as universal signposts. And, you're not paying attention to those, well, who knows what you're missing? You certainly don't!
