As we face the weekend I reflect on the week.
I'm swamped, as we all are.
It's end of summer! The fair is coming! School is ramping up! Sell the Cabin! Prepare for guests! Get the garden produce preserved! Buy local apples! Mow! Remember all the appointments!!!---These thoughts race through my mind.
Margaret has been laid low all week. Her "teeth of wisdom" came out on Tuesday, and it seems to have wrung her out more than we expected. Glad that's over. She goes back to work this evening, and all weekend.
Ed's counts are pretty good right now. We resume chemotherapy at a lower dose because of his successful weight loss plan. This is a good thing.
His eyes, which were pinkish and mattery, are improving.
I'm still washing windows. :(
It's detail work, and my back has been excruciatingly
painful. Must see someone who can fix that soon. Any recommendations for this in my new neighborhood, local readers?
I need help!
The pets have become night watchers, and bark at all the critters that come to call during the night. This doesn't help our sleeping, but it's nice to know they are on duty!
This morning a doe and her fawn stepped gingerly across the clearing, always alert, facing the house. I thought of Bambi and his mother. One of the saddest moments in Disney history.
For me, at least.
I've been posting things from the web here that I think are helpful reminders that life on earth is really short.
I'm beginning to believe that any of us has only seven years. The seven year tribulation pretty much wraps up life as we know it on earth---before the millenium---so we have just weeks before the tribulation starts, if things fall into the Biblical feasts pattern, and 2015 is the year to get the ball rolling.
I'm hoping that the next seven years we are in a safe place, "Thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book." Dan.12:1
So prepare.
We are finishing up "The Healing of Persons," by Paul Tournier. Today we read the chapter "Inspiration." What inspiration! The life of a believer in Christ Jesus is a life of victory.
We may be broken sinners (and there are ample reports these days of sinners professing Christ) but when we repent and live in the meditation of the Word of God we have the victory over sin and death every minute of our lives.
We need to choose that, however.
We can choose to be torn up by constantly sinning---giving in to the temptations that plague us all---or we can have the victory through a Christ-consciousness that comes through knowing Scripture.
It is the key.
Living in repentance, living in the Spirit, is the key to successful life. It will even cure some physical maladies!
Fret not. God's got this.
But get right with God!
Repent! The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand! All of our woes will be done away with. We are facing finals that have eternal consequences.
Maranatha.
