I recently read an article, by John Piper, about using New Years as a way to remember our days—sort of like a dress rehearsal, for our death.
Interesting.
Why would this be important?
Why should I think about my death? “...numbering our days...” “remember our days...”
I certainly don’t have all the answers, but I do know, when we do this: the Lord is PLEASED. And how do I know this, You might ask??? Well there is a promise tucked in there that those of us who seek—will get a heart of wisdom. Wise. Wisdom. Above all: get wisdom.
Wise is the man who seeks the Lord, stays near the Lord, especially during these important times.
Do you ever wonder why in the world Christ doesn’t just come and make all things right? Correct the mistakes; heal the sick; forgive the haters; and on and on this list could go Annihilate those who don’t believe...ok, that got a little dark...🤣.
Anyhow...my scans came back clear! I’m “stable” which is good to know something in my life is! 🤣
I’ll be having a brain MRI in two weeks to rule out some abnormal behaviors...😬. Other than that—if all comes back clear, I’ll continue on plan.
So now, I’m curled up on the couch...cuddled up tight with a blanket, pretending the howling winds are actually waves on a warm beach somewhere nice...with a cold beverage in my hand to refresh myself with. (no alcohol.)
With the new year comes new decisions, and watching all the promises go straight out the window...oddly I find it refreshing, and amusing. Just take ONE DAY AT A TIME. That is how we get anything done. And then, do the next right thing. (Thank you Anna from Frozen 2).
Best wishes this cold and windy January! 💖
