“Life is passing by for all of us. Billy Graham was once asked what the greatest surprise of his life had been. His answer was, ‘The brevity of it ’
Here’s what it comes down to. If you have placed your faith and trust in Jesus Christ as Savior, if you belong to Him, then you don’t have to dread the passing of years. As Christians, we know the best is yet to come. As you walk day by day with the Lord, living the way He wants you to live, you will acquire experiences and memories, distilled truth that will be a blessing to you and others later in life, because you made the right choices and invested in the right things.
If you have put your faith in Jesus Christ, you need to know that He is with you [ … ]
“She handed me a Plastic Donut from her kitchen play set.
I looked at the Donut and back at my daughter. She stood waiting for a response. So I put the Donut up to my mouth and said with great animation, “Yummm, yummm Thank you, Autumn! This is soooo goood.”
Then something beautiful happened. Her big brown eyes widened, and her lips pushed a giant smile against her puffy cheeks. She stood up on her toes, shrugged her shoulders up to her ears, and let out a high-pitched squeal
For Autumn, this exercise in giving gifts kept bringing her back to Daddy. For me, it kept me looking for my child to return to my side. I was moved by the exchange. I loved the interaction and connection. I was so pleased

Today’s Bible reading: Exodus 3:110
When you strip the biblical miracles of their spectacular special effects, a common plot point emerges: extraordinary moves of God begin with ordinary acts of obedience.
Consider Moses’s first encounter with God.
Moses is tending the family sheep out in the nondescript countryside.
He happens to notice a bush that’s caught fire.
He walks over to take a look
Up to this point, it’s not exactly a riveting scene, is it?
In reality, the illustrious burning-bush encounter that seemed so captivating in Sunday school is really quite ordinary. Moses is performing menial manual labor, working for his father-in-law. It’s dusty. The sheep stink. Does it get any more mundane?
Almost all encounters with God begin that way. You may be living under the illusion that when God ignites great things in your life, He’ll announce it with a [ … ]
"I will never leave you." Hebrews 13:5
National Book Award winner Barry Lopez wrote in Arctic Dreams that some people are not "finished at the skin. They send luminous fibers into the soil around them."

We follow our spouses to new job locales – or take them with us. We move to help out family or because the new landscape offers benefits we find we now need with a child with a disability or our own aging bones.
