As I watched the people and children gather together to hula-hoop and enjoy the market, I thought of what it must have been like 50 years ago. For a moment I was transported to an older, safer, more wholesome era.
I snapped a photograph.
As soon as my shutter reopened I felt a sadness for you as reality set in. You will never know those kinds of days. And only God knows what you will live to see.
Then I remembered how blessed we are to be in these times. When we are so clearly getting nearer to the point. Where the motivation to know and serve Him is heightened. In which the honor of being truly set apart will become so apparent.
As I flashed through a scene from the past to this scene in the now, I inhaled knowing that if given a choice all my life I would have chosen today.
Beautiful thought, Lora. The Bible tells us to serve the Lord TODAY. The end is near and the time is now. Many blessings!
ReplyDeleteThis is so tender, Lora. All the what-ifs...that's what they do, don't they? They open my heart to the present moment--help me to see the passing of time. So glad you shared this. Hugs to you.
