I can't believe it. It was just October yesterday. I am finding that the speed of time has grown exponentaially and we can no longer keep up. We run out of time constantly and we are in deep trouble when it comes to a fulfilled life. When we begin a task it becomes almost impossible to complete. When we have a new idea it has already been thought of and is in use by everyone. In this life we cruse above the speed of sound. I long for the still quiet life. A life that allows me to catch my breath. The Bible speaks of God's peace and so many people are lacking it. on my way to the coffee shop today a person in a little Chevy ran a stop sign in front of me. We no longer have the patience to even obey the laws of the land. We no longer have the patience to be concerned with the well being of others. this is supposed to be a time of giving of gifts and showing each other God's love and peace. Instead we take advantage of others. As I am setting here looking out the window of the coffee shop I see a guy who is walking down the street carrying a cross with a wheel on the back of it. Boy if that would only work. If each of us would walk down the street or where ever we would go with a cross on our backs.
(Mk 8.34—9.1; Lk 9.23—27)
24 Then Jesus told his disciples, “If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me
The Holy Bible : New Revised Standard Version. Nashville : Thomas Nelson Publishers, 1989, S. Mt 16:24
If I could just get peoples eyes off of themselves and back on to the Lord. Life would slow down things might just feel normal if we slowed down and followed Him... How do we get there? When the lord gives me the answer I will let you know!!!
Salutations!!
