Last night as I was walking, thinking about some issues in my life and praying, I could not help but continue to look up at the sky as I kept moving forward and admire the beauty of the clouds, sunset and the sunrays shining through. It was just beautiful and, of course, I had to stop and take a pic.
Sometimes in life we get overwhelmed with situations and issues and/or that we get so busy and forget to enjoy what is in front of us whether it is the sunset, friends/family or just a bee buzzing on a flower, etc.
I am sure you have heard the old saying, “Take one day at a time.” Someone told me a long time ago that when one day is too much, take one hour at a time. I do just that at times, I have had to.
Perhaps you are facing some situations or circumstances that seem out of reach for you. Do realize you will get through these periods of waiting, questioning why and even moments of anger.
While trusting the Lord and even questioning and even doubting Him, which is normal (Where are You?), He will give you the peace you need. Trust Him!
Recently, when having a discussion with an older gentleman, we were discussing life and how he wanted to fulfill many things before he dies. Knowing my age, he said I was on the sunny side of sixty, which I thought was funny. Sunny. Sixty. That number!
No doubt many of you have felt the same through the years or as the birthday candles increase.
Thankfully, I feel more alive physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually today than I did almost five years ago. It has not been easy going to counseling and opening up and dealing with areas of life and those rough patches. It has been healing though while understanding the whys, questions, and uncertainties as I had to trust my counselor and moreso God.
I do not know what the other side of sixty looks like for me but I’ll be aiming for the sweet side of seventy and will be laughing and having fun along the way.
Just Pondering...
