'Continued Series on 'Heaven, Death, Dying and Letting go'
Any body want to ask me if I am having a good day? I can laugh now but I posted my post today and somehow in my 'not paying enough attention', I deleted it. Yes, I had completed it and had published it.
Well, isn't this just the way we are sometimes in our spiritual life and living. We think we say what we want to say, do what we think is right and then we get in a hurry and we miss out on what we thought we had already done. Again, as I have prepared for each and every post during these Series, so far, something has come along that leads me to another post of sharing my human side.
I post each post from my heart and mind through prayer before every post. I do not write/type this post ahead of time and retype. I put my thoughts down as I go. Therefore, that is why I lost the post that I had already published. So, what about saving the post and then moving forward? That sound simple enough. Well, that sounds like a good plan as my husband has reminded me repeatedly. Well, how many times have we been told, shared and taken in 'scriptural food' and we somehow listen at the time but how quickly we go on about our life and living and we, again, find we could have prevented some of our grief and more importantly enjoyed more blessings?
What I did pen and shared was very close to the following.
I feel as we walk slowly through this Series, it is very important to take the time to digest, discern, study, pray and allow ourselves to become comfortable with the subjects. It is important to understand and 'wear', if you will, all aspects on these subjects. These subjects on 'Heaven, Death, Dying and Letting go' are very dear to our heart and ones that we will not/can not avoid in our lifetime.
We all realize that this time will come at some point in our lives but we have made lightly of them, such as: 'Every body wants to go to Heaven but nobody want to die". Also, "everybody wants to go to Heaven but nobody wants to get on the bus."
And on it goes. However, this is just another reason to walk slowly and allow all of us to 'find our focus point in God's Spirit' and then we can flow and take in more of His Love and understanding.
I have chosen to share a reading that was written in Jesus Calling by Sarah Young.
"Let Me show you My way for you this day. I guide you continually, so you can relax and enjoy. My Presence in the present. Living well is both a discipline and an art. Concentrate on staying close to Me, the divine Artist. Discipline your thoughts to trust Me as I work My ways in your life. Pray about everything; then, leave outcomes up to Me. Do not fear My will, for through it I accomplish what is best for you. Take a deep breath and dive into the depths of absolute trust in Me. Underneath are the everlasting arms!"
Psalm 5:2-3; Deuteronomy 33:27
Until next time
God Bless
