Tomorrow?

The Lord has been putting people around me to say profound things that have really impacted me. Today at the Senior center I worked with two 60 year old volunteers. Working with these ladies is neat to see that they are able to still serve in the capacity that they can, while there are some near their age that come into the senior center that would not be able to do what they do. We are spending a lot of time together and today I found that I was saying many things about the future to them. Seeing seniors in pain makes me think about prevention, not of getting old, becuase that is impossible, but preventing aches, pains, and illnesses that may come with old age. In addition, Hearing them talk about their children and grandchildren makes me think about being a Mom one day. I was so overwhelmed with the fuutre and what is ahead they finally said, "Heather, stop rushing through life. Enjoy where you are! Don't worry about it!" I was reminded that today has enough worries of its own. The lessons on time didn't stop there, a friend talked about the trialsome times that are tough and seem like forever. My friend compared that to the times under the sun rays of summer, the joyous times God blesses us with that we want to last forever, but seem to be quick like the blink of an eye. Why can't it be the opposite? Good times seem long and the trialsome short. The profound part comes when I realized that it is the trialsome times that I should take my time with, because those are the times that I grow the most and blossom for God's glory. Good to also keep in mind that there is also glory in the blessing of good times, which usually do not like to be rushed, but there is even more of a reason not to rush when times are tough. Soak it in, soak it in, soak it in, and glean from it the most that you can!
