Live for God Love Others

 Well another anniversary has passed...thank you for your emails and messages.  In some ways it's seems like it's been like this forever and then other times like the accident just happened.  I still can not believe this happened to our daughter, our family. Thank you for your prayers.

This has been such an awful week for the world.  The terrible situation in Afghanistan, the earthquake in Hait, so many Covid deaths and illnesses....  the other day a friend of mine said that it feels like the world is on fire.  I agree there is so much heaviness and uncertainty for so many people.   There is just no other solution but God.  This world is beyond help-I can't really see things changing overall for the better at this point but.... I believe Jesus is coming.  

I'm not one of those date setters.  That's crazy and wrong.  But I feel the whole earth is on the cusp of eternity.  Eternity seems close at hand.  In all honesty even if you personally live to be 100 years old, you're still facing eternity.  All of us are, there's no way to physically live forever on this earth.  

So in my heart I can't help but think soon this all will be over.  Soon we will stand before the King of Kings.  It may not be in 2021 but even if this old world keeps turning for each of us individually it will not be long.  

What matters is to stay close to the Lord, keep your family close, do good for others, reach out and help the hopeless.  Because when it's all said and done, what else will matter?  Only our relationships and those we've reached out to.  

Right now as I type this I know a family that is saying goodbye to their loved one.  Thinking about things like that puts other things into perspective! Live for God Love Others!
