October 25

I hope everyone has had a wonderful week and an amazing Friday! I have been feeling the need to share a message that we discussed a few days ago in church. The sermon focused on how short this life is, and where our attention should be centered.  

¹³ Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit”— ¹⁴ yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. ¹⁵ Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.” (James 4:13-15)

These verses are so comforting to me. It is amazing how light the problems of your day become, and how joyous and carefree you can be when you live your life with an eternal perspective. Instead of stressing over our plans for the day, we can relax and live each moment without fear, knowing that God has a plan for each and every one of us. This life is a speck in time compared to the perfection that has been prepared for us in heaven. We are all loved and cared for! Daily Thanks: Today I am thankful for the beautiful scenery in Tuscaloosa (Who knew?), Yummy squash from the farmer’s market, and the weekend!

How will you change your perspective to better enjoy life?
