Me-Maw Thoughts
Number 703
October 1, 2024///
Because so much uncertainty is in our world today, I want to share a Me-Maw Thought I shared way back in June 2012. It was the first one in My book SKYDIVING ME_MAW THOUGHTS although it was the 77th one I sent out. Now I am at number 703. Lots of thoughts flow through my head and heart!
This one touches on where we live today, and I pray it Blesses you!

Me-Maw Thoughts
Number 77
June 26, 2012///
A couple of weeks ago I was on 3 different planes
flying in and out of Indiana. On each one of them after
the flight attendant closed the doors and went through the
instructions regarding seat belts, flotation devices, oxygen
masks, and electronic equipment, every one of them said
the same thing. “Sit back, relax and enjoy the flight”.
Then as we got underway the pilot would come on the
intercom and give us some information about the flight
length, the weather at our destination and the planned
flight altitude. At the end he would say exactly the same
thing. “Sit back, relax and enjoy the flight”.
I could “Sit back, relax and enjoy the flight”, because I
was not in charge of anything on this plane but my own
actions. I was not flying or helping fly this plane. I was
not passing out snacks or pillows etc, like the flight
attendant. I was not giving instructions like the Control
Tower. I was a passenger.
I had prayed for the protection of almighty God and Had
placed the flight and the entire trip in His Hands and I
now had to trust in those who were doing their best to
get me to my destination.
There is more Spiritual Truth in those observations than
I could ever cover in one days Me-Maw Thoughts.
Our journey in life is like the journey on the plane. We commit
our Life into the hands of our Father God, through
Jesus Christ. Both are guiding us to our destination saying,
“Sit back, relax, and Love Jesus”.
The Holy Spirit, who is like the Flight Attendant, is
giving us instructions of what to do if we encounter
bad weather and what we should not be using during
the flight. The Father God is in the Control Tower
where he can see what is going on and can give correct
instructions.
Our part in all of this is to “Sit back, relax, and Love Jesus”.
Now this does not mean that you sit around waiting and do
nothing. You can be doing nothing and not be relaxed in
Jesus at all. I know people who fly, tense and holding on
to the arms on the seat so tight you would have to pry them
loose. There is nothing relaxing about this.
This means you do the things you can. You follow instructions.
In your seat you can pray, you can talk to the passenger on the
side of you. You can write letters, read, and when you are
free to move about the cabin you can do what you need to do.
To relax means to know that the trip of life is in the hands
of our Creator God. We give control to him,
Suppose someone in the plane decided they could get us
there better than the trained personnel and took over flying
the plane. We would be in big trouble, and it would affect
all who were flying with us. But that is exactly what we
do. We think we can run our lives better than the one
who created us and planned our life from eternity past.
And it affects all those around us, who our lives touch.
Let’s trust this journey to the one who made us. Let us
do what we are instructed to do by the one who knows
us better than we know ourselves and let’s
“Sit Back, Relax, and Love Jesus”.

Father may all who read this understand that we are
your creation and you have a plan for each of us.
We trust you Father God, and give ourselves to you
through your son Jesus. AMEN!
We are on a Journey, travel well.
Love, Me-Maw
