One of the thoughts that, from time to time goes through my mind is that we are just passing through. This is not our forever home. We are each going to go the way of all the earth. While thinking of death and how it’s going to happen is not a pleasant thought for anyone, it’s not uncommon for me to think of what’s happening on the other side.
With our new house on my mind, I reflected on another big house that is being planned.
This morning I wondered what everyone is doing. My Mom, my Dad, Mike’s parents, my brother, grandparents – all those gone before. They must be up to something. I will never know this side of eternity, but one day, when I step from here to there, I too will discover the unknown joy and elation that they live with now.
I sit poised, as we all do, between generations past and those to come. When I pray for my great-grandchildren, I’m aware that there may have been a great grandparent praying for me. Neither are here on earth, yet both exist. We are not physical beings in a spiritual world. We are spiritual beings in a physical world. One day we will change the physical world for the spiritual.
One of the people who unexpectedly made the journey on this day back in about 2014 was Ori. I think of her with fondness.
Back to today, another day on planet earth and it has been a work-filled one. I did not go to gym but I did get about 9 hours of work done. Mike cleaned out quite a lot of the garage ahead of him installing equipment that allows us to continue working if there is a power outage. And another good thing that happened today was Mike got an email from the bank to say the holding account that money went into was one of his own expired credit card accounts. That’s a relief. It will arrive back in his account soon.
Grateful!
We are off to the airport to pick up Julian.
Isaiah 55:10-11
For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return there but water the earth…so shall My word be that goes out from My mouth; it shall not return to Me empty.
Words of Jesus: “In My Father’s house are many mansions…I go to prepare a place for you”.
It’s going to happen and has already.
These are the days.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
