Don't Wait

I've done it again. I've waited so late that I know once I get started on this blog, I will be getting too sleepy to finish it.

So, I'll get right to the point. Don't procrastinate. Always do the hard, important stuff first. It's much easier to read others blogs and Facebook posts than to write my own, but it's also important for me to get a daily blog written. Tonight I made the mistake of doing it backwards.

That's the way some people live their whole lives. Instead of making a total surrender to God early, when God can really use them in His service longer, they wait till their life is almost over before they concentrate on their spiritual health. Unfortunately, we aren't always given the luxury of a long life, in order to make the commitments to God and have the relationship with Him that would help us survive this life and live it to the fullest.

Give your life to Him now, or you will have a hard time staying awake and getting it done later.

Which is why this blog is finished for the night. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Our Case Manager

With the holidays winding down, there's more time for relaxation and reflection, at least in our household. I've been looking back at my life, compared to the last year or two, and sadly, I can see changes that point to increased dementia in my husband. I don't want to recognize the signs, but they are glaringly present, and must be addressed and dealt with. These are not pleasant observations, but necessary ones for the ongoing task of caregiving for him.

Fortunately, God is in the caregiving business too, and His omniscience allows Him to constantly assess our situations and needs. We don't know the future, but this wise and all-powerful God does, and it's much less daunting for me to know that He is "on the watch". We couldn't have a better "case manager."

I pray that all my loved ones will allow God to orchestrate their lives. And He graciously does just that, when we totally and unconditionally surrender our lives to Him for that purpose. Don't wait another day to give Him the "reins" of your life. He will steer you through the roughest waters. It may be a rough ride, but He will see you all the way to our destination with Him, where all the worries in this life will fade into nothingness.
