STAGE MANAGED

We love going to the theatre. The music, the atmosphere, and the excitement all make for a great experience. In what is arguably his most famous poem, Shakespeare wrote:- "All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances, And one man in his time plays many parts," This has some truth to it we are many things. I am a wife, a mother, a dog owner, friend, sister, neighbour, and many more things. These are all tangible and as concepts easy to understand. Some things, though, are not as easy to explain. For example I have been described as a "safe place", a "listener" and even, by one friend going through an horrendous time as, a "great guard dog". I don't know how true they are really. I just do what I do. Do I put on an act or a show? Well yes, at times I do. I often keep quiet and nod when I feel like telling someone they're behaving like an idiot, or that things are fine when they're not. God sees through the act and will make sure I get to where he needs me to go and do what he needs me to do. Sometimes in ways that are surprising and often funny. Sometimes it can be very dramatic and I feel as though I have been turned inside out. What I do know is that life with the Holy Spirit guiding is always exciting.
