The Deacon at my Church parish told a story last Sunday when we were still able to congregate before "social distancing." His first job was as a UPS driver. Each morning there was a meeting about the routes and a pep talk. All the trucks were loaded from the night before by the midnight shift. The way the truck was to be filled is that the last delivery was loaded first and each parcel followed according to the next address. The first delivery would be the farthest out on his route and then all the rest of the deliveries would culminate to the his last delivery which was the closest to his final destination, right back where he started, the UPS storage facility. Invariably, his truck was never loaded that way. Boxes were thrown in there haphazardly. There were even deliveries that weren't part of his route. He would end up going far out of his way and he wasted a lot of time going off his route. He likened this experience to life itself. You have a goal and you plan your steps but things happen and on your way unexpected events occur that take you off your path. You need to be flexible and adapt but most importantly you can get through it with God's help and then he said, "let your last delivery be, the Kingdom of Heaven."
