Pick a card... any card!

So, I'm sitting here typing out my general thoughts... and random stuff just pops into my head about life and everything in general.  And I was just wondering about the cards I had been dealt.  My cards in life.

Why did I end up with the ones I did?  Did I truly pick them out?  God threw the cards my way and I guess I did ultimately end up choosing which ones I wanted... I mean, you never know what life is gonna throw at you... and usually its a wild card... and those, you don't really pick I guess... God does.  But he knows whats going on anyways, so I guess its ok.

We have to live with what we choose.  Be it where we live, work, how we interact with others... who we surround ourselves with and who we don't.  Chances we take and chances we lose.  We mostly choose it all.... because God gave us free will.  He is the ultimate knower of all things, so He is the only one not surprised by what we do.

Simple post today just posing the question.... When God hands you a card... or lays out a whole deck.. which one will you choose?  Will you deal with that you got?  Will you trade it in?  How will you handle the wild cards thrown at you?  We all know what happens when the game of life ends... if we know Jesus, then we WIN! We get the best prize of all.  All we have to do is just get through the game and do the best with what we've got until we get to the prize!
