Open Thread Post 95 - A Better Day
That's the trick. Stick to “One day at a time.” Even explaining to my son this evening what yesterday felt like, the voice cracks, the tears threaten when envisioning a long future. He got it completely and agrees.
For those of you who have kids of any age, think for ten seconds straight the thought of never seeing them or talking to them again on this earth. Did your heart darken, fall, or even skip a beat? That's the constant unless there is something else to distract or keep my mind occupied.
I cherish now the things that keep me distracted. Work? Yes! Sleep? Yes? Good conversation or a good book? Yes! Spending time with friends? Yes! Cherish all these things. Don't let yourself concentrate on the bad things in the world.
I can’t imagine, Joan. I am so praying for you. In reality, our time on earth is really very short, no matter when we leave. Heaven is eternity. We will all be together with our loved ones eventually forever.
God bless you my friend. And thankfully, as long as the next 20 or 30 years might be, it is nothing compared to the beautiful eternity we will all be spending together, even though of course, that’s hard to grasp when you’re living in this dispensation. Thank God you have such a good perspective and strong faith. I feel really led to pray for the lost right now, I can’t imagine them going through life without hope in Christ. Who knows this blog might be seen by someone even tonight who needs your encouragement and testimony.
