Thoughts....

Anniversary day today. So it's going to be a busy day so I can keep distracted!! I'm sure it won't completely work but I'm hoping it will for the most part. The thoughts going through my mind today are the importance of God. There's a verse in our hymn book (106) that makes me so sad.  In the valley of hesitation, countless millions have lingered and died, When the cost seemed too great for salvation, and too lowly His way for their pride. The chorus says If only we knew when life is through, No one would weary his bidding to do; None would dispise the heavenly prize Waiting for me and for you. It's so hard knowing that this applies to most of my family. Doing what I want today just seems more important with no thought for what happens if I don't make it through today. God can help ANYBODY no matter what they've done. Our whole life here is just a tiny tiny portion of how long eternity is. It's like a grain of sand on the beach, with all the rest of the sand being eternity. To be able to have more peace and contentment here then a lot do, to have the ability to handle adversity with a semblance of calm and feel that calmness, to have someone (God) there even when no one else is that can help with the agony that life brings. It more then makes up for allowing His will to be done rather then our own. And then to have given up our will for one grain of time compared to millions of grains of joy and peace in eternity.....
