Marker Events
All things come alike to all: there is one event to the righteous, and to the wicked . . . (Ecclesiastes 9:2)
All of us share a common destiny; we all will die. But in the meantime, "in Him we live and move and have our being" (Acts 17:28). Throughout our life there are certain things we must go there. These periods are called "Marker Events" and not everyone goes through them at the same time or in similar manners. There is no set pattern for marker events, but they do happen.
Marker events are those events that mark your life in some way. Marker events include birthdays, anniversaries, graduation, promotions, relocation, marriage, divorce, birth of a child, death of a loved one, retirement, loss of a job, vacation, or purchase of a new house/car. A marker event is so called because it is a clear delineation that something has changed your life.
How you deal with marker events depends on you and your attitude toward the event. Will it make you bitter or better? Will it lift you up or bring you down? Will you see the sunshine in it or only the clouds? A marker event will strengthen you to do greater things if you have a positive response toward it. A marker event can be that break in your life to challenge you to soar higher with God beneath your wings. Remember God never leaves us . . . not even during our "Marker Events."
