Computer Mouse

For the last two days, i have been at head office, which is an experience in its self, why is it that some IT people just don't have any person skills, i think i was rather a culture shock to them, being the quiet, reserved person that i am.......................... (hahaha) they really had no idea how to deal, with my off the cuff comments., or my wit ............... On the first day people would come into the room and sit down, without saying a word, i know that my parents taught me when you enter a room you greet everyone before you sit down, as the people were coming in to the conference room i was asking who they were, which branch they were from, in the beginning you would have thought that i was an alien from another planet, but it was amazing how quickly they relaxed, and took part in the discussions.
The reason that i had to leave home at the crack of dawn for the last two mornings ( and boy were were those crack of dawns absolutely breath taking ) to get there was because we are going on a new computer system, and all the ground work has been completed and we were making sure that everything that we asked for had been done. We were going through all the features, that the system has to offer. I don't think there is anything more boring than watching someone else, operating a mouse, while you sit and watch.........................clicking here and clicking there showing you what all the features are.............. right click here and this happens left click there and that happens, tab and this happens, drag and this happens...........................
It made me start thinking, wouldn't it be great if our lives were that simple, if you do this for your husband he will do that for you................... if you do that for your daughter she will do that for you............................ if you ask for this you will get that ..... it you dont do this you won't get that..................................... if you make a mistake you can "delete" and "reinstate " and no one will know you made a mistake, if you use the wrong words, you can "bounce" them back and all will be as it was before the words were spoken.
Unfortunately life is not like that, and actions have consequences, and every decision we make will positively or negitively affect either ourselves or someone else how easy like would be if we could just use the "mouse." .............................. but...........................how boring would life be, no excitement , no joy, no expectations, no surprises, no unexpected acts of kindness, no sms's from friends, no unexpected coffee dates , no need for faith......................... and is that not what life is all about, embracing the unexpected, finding hope in the unknown having faith that God is in control and that he knows exactly where your life is going..................our responsiblilty it to pray that we do it right................. and the best part is, if we don't get it right today then God gives us tomorrow to try again............................. So i am glad that life is not controlled by a mouse.................. but by the choices i make every day whether they are right or wrong, whether the take me forward or backward, whether they bring me joy or sadness at least they are my choices. made with a lot of faith ...................................
