these days should help us know what matters


Amy Etchison’s CD has a wonderful song about her grandmother. In it she repeats the phrase “just passing through.” We all are. Our time on earth is a mere blink. Older we get faster the blink. While here we have to make the most of it. Friends and family come and go. We do not get to choose when or how long we have them with us. We do not get to decide when a life ends. We are not God. That is His job. He knows our life. He created out life. He gave us our first breath and he decides our last breath. We are responsible for the breaths between. We can live it cautious and anxious and angry or we can live it with abandon, throw caution to the wind and milk all we can from it. God gave us beauty to enjoy. He gave us people to love. He gave us lives to build around it all. He gave us hope and faith. He gives us all this daily actually. All we must do is be faithful, grateful and generous.  His goodness is worth our living day to day.
