Lord Willin

As a man was leaving the office, a girl I work with said "Merry Christmas".

He turned around and said, "The same to ya'll too, Happy New Year!"

To which she replied, "See you next year!" Laughter was exchanged and general good vibes spread through the office.

As he walked out the door, the gentleman (who was wearing a Gator hat, by the way) said, "Lord willin, I'll be here!"

And I knew he was right, and thought of all the vain things I make plans about and was reminded of this passage from James 4:

¹³ Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.” ¹⁴ Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. ¹⁵ Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.”
