The story...
If we're able to reflect upon our lives in eternity, which decade might we value most?
- 1st, Grew, trusted and dependent on parents, learned about capabilities.
- 2nd, Entered relationships outside family and community - chose a career to "act" out.
- 3rd, Became more interdependent and lived more outside family circle.
- 4th, Honed career-role and tried to pass learned values to kids.
- 5th, Accepted physical decline and limitations - tried out imagined best life.
- 6th, Living more self aware, valuing relationships, and appreciating peace and rest.
- 7th, Trust in God with little confidence in me?
Maybe all the reflections of life will fill eternal eyes or heart with feeling, understanding and love. Personally, I'm so thankful for every part of life, especially the meaningful relationships.
The only church in town wouldn't be perfect nor best meet anyone's needs and wants. Each person is wonderfully unique and living within their own season of life - a component of the body of Christ. I can only imagine how the Word of God, the Spirit of Christ, and loving relationships might work out both here and in eternity.
Just for today...
"Trust God; Actualities true - Creator knows; He's gifted you."
"Valuing others; Appreciating all - Being present; Standing tall."
"Best friend's be; Patient with you - Good and kind, Lovin 'em through."
"Flesh's bad; Spirit's there - Ebb and flow; Ya know where." Am I a Poet?
