Luggage "lost"—and harmony found
My husband and I were flying from the United States back home to Spain, and had missed the connecting flight. Before getting on our rescheduled flight, we asked if our luggage was on the plane. We learned that not only was it not on the flight, it may never have been put on the original plane in the first place. The airline employee said it could take months to find.
I felt as though my husband and I were billiard balls, hit aimlessly by other balls—one called a “missed connecting flight,” another named “missing luggage”—and there was nothing we could do about it. I felt helpless and I knew I needed quickly to counteract the feeling that this situation was out of our control.
We were used to turning to God in times of trouble and it was natural for us to pray. I affirmed that Mind, God, was in control. While this was in direct opposition to my initial reaction, I knew that nothing was truly outside of God’s care.
