When I go from day to day and look at the world around me, I think I often forget that this world is not my permanent home…I know for sure I am guilty of this human consideration…Now in my mid sixties, I have become even more aware of the fast pace of life’s general nature…So, for me I feel pressed to consider my plans, actions, and words…Even the smallest detail is a part of the patch-work quilt of my life and will one day present a covering made by me in this life as I know it today to God…I make effort daily to remember that my every word and deed have an impact on now, then, and forever…Falling down is part of my journey in that I miss steps by omission and commission, but I am constantly aware of my connection to the forever I will one day know and the today that I, as a human being, feel compelled to value probably more than I should…Life for me I have learned is a flicker of light in the present that will one day be a part of a very bright existence in my permanent home…As I peer back across the years, I see some right and some wrong said and done by me; and I remain hopeful that I learn from each act and word to become a better person on this side and find myself one day presentable to God, Our Creator…The flicker of light I know today and hopefully share along my way will be a bright beam of light for others on this side to help them find their way to their permanent home with God in heaven at the end of this life where they too will enter a very bright existence…
