I realize I need to make the most of this day and the time I have left on earth. I will switch gears from the soft summer nights, to the cooler evenings that grow dark more quickly. To the sound of crickets and the need to wear a jacket.
No one invites death. Or change. Strangeness. Or hard times. But they come to all of us. When they come, how will those changes leave you?
We don't know our country's future. I don't know what's ahead in my life and neither do you. But we know who we can trust in our precarious times that have always been precarious.
We cannot stop time, but we can relish the time we have.
Grief has its seasons, too. I'm not sure what season your grief is in, but you can trust God is with you in your season. Perhaps this season, you will experience joy.
If you haven't thought about where you might go. You hope you'll go to heaven. Perhaps you hope you'll get there by your good works. You can have the assurance you are going there by putting your trust in Jesus. What do you have to lose?
If your mother is still on earth, take the time to get in touch with her. Time is fleeting and one day, she won't be here to express your love to her.
Beauty matters....it does. God gave us flowers for a reason.
As bad as those days were for us: cancer diagnosis, death of a loved one, loss of a job, pain that will not quit, nothing can compare to the day we call Good Friday.
Apart from God, there is no good thing. I find it to be true more and more each day. But I'm human and sometimes I forget. I put off reading and studying the most important book. How about you?
