Moment For Meditation - November 14, 2014 Do You Fit In The Days Ahead? Many years ago, I received some advice on aging and facing death. As it was said, When we get to the point in life where our end seems very close, we sometimes retreat to times in our life where we are safe and the present day is a long ways off. I have been in the company of so many people who have transitioned from life to afterlife; from youth to old age; and from health to sickness and I have noticed that embracing ones new situation is quite foreign. Have you ever had to deal with losing the ability to remember? Have you ever felt as though the loved ones youve cared for are now having to care for you? Do you feel as if you are becoming a burden? If you havent, you will. Each day we wake up is new to us in its own right but, we are new to it as well. We are not the same; things have changed. While most changes are gradual, we find ourselves suddenly in a state of not being able to deny their completion. Thats when we start feeling as if we dont fit the day. Truth is, we do fit or our Lord would have taken us out of it. It is not such an easy task for us to find our new fit in the new day when we focus on the things we cant do anymore. But we must, if we are going to be productive, work make ourselves at home every day that we have been given. We must focus on the here and now and not the then and there or we will lose ourselves. I urge you to encourage everyone who is facing significant changes in life by reminding them to make themselves at home in each new day; to embrace the day and find what it is that God has assigned for them to do and do it, to the glory of God. Remind them that it is not important what tomorrow brings. What is important is that tomorrow is brought by God. Read Philippians 4:1-9
