THE MATTER
OF DESTINY
Some say their lives are prescribed as a matter of destiny. This raises the question as to whether or not we have control over the course of our lives. If not, what is the use of our taking any action, or even deliberating about what action we may take? This suggests a certain passivity that does not jive with the takecontrol nature of our society. On the other hand, is there not a divine plan that guides us all? Perhaps the best answer to these questions comes from the Greek philosopher Origen who wrote, “Things do not happen because God foresees them in the distant future, but because they will happen, God knows them before they happen.”
For now, we “see through a glass darkly”, but assuming there is meaning and purpose in our challenges helps us endure what comes our way. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton, we work to serve you in every way possible, from the way you are met when you come in the door to the service we offer. Call us at 347-3431. We're the oldest business in Fauquier County.
"The acts of this life are the destiny of the next."
