Only forty days until we start being missionaries. The count down is going slowly, but it is going rapidly. It is going slowly as I consider we have that long to wait until we can serve full time. It is going rapidly since there are so many things to do that I wonder if we will get them all done before forty days have expired.
When I get boggled down with "things" and "stuff" I pause and think of that glorious different existence we will enjoy in more than 40 days. That will be a time when we won't have to worry about bills, getting things done, making sure that we are available for kids and grand kids and church assignments, family and other. It will be a time when the "stuff" of this life will be put on the back burner and we will be privileged to have our main, our only goal is furthering the Kingdom.
Yes I know, we are still parents and grand parents. Yes we will still be interested in the happenings that happen in our family, extended family, and even dearly beloved associates, but our main focus will change from what it is today to what our Father and His Son desire of us. We will be concerned about our stewardship.
I guess that is the main difference. Our stewardship will change. That is what I have desired since that day over forty years ago when I climbed off that plane in Texas, wishing I could return to be full time doing Father's work. It will be glorious.
Miracles continue to happen. Father is a Father of miracles and His work will go on, whether we notice His miracles or not. I am grateful for that, for often He blesses with miracles that we didn't even know we desired. I offer gratitude to Him for His tender mercies, His ever watchful care, and His taking care of us, whether we agree with His timing, His methods, or His miracles.
