The Future

What are you most worried about for the future?

Of two things I am certain. We cannot change the past. And we cannot know what holds for tomorrow.

Don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow has enough cares of its own.   – Jesus

The future is uncertain. I don’t even know if I’ll be there. It’s not like I have a terminal disease or anything, but we never know what may occur.

My husband and I witnessed a horrific traffic accident on July 2nd. Both vehicles were totaled. Thankfully, there were no serious injuries. But it could have been so much worse for those involved.

We worry about lots of things we have no control over. I try not to worry. But I do have some concerns over a few things. Things I often pray about.

My health. Much of this is in my control. But sometimes I don’t care for myself as I should. I need to exercise. Being sedentary so much is not a good thing when you have diabetes. I’m pretty good about my diet, but I do need to move more, for sure.

The world in which my grandchildren are growing up. I’m proud of my daughter and that she is homeschooling her children. They don’t have internet at home and are doing everything the old-fashioned way. She shelters them from the violence of the world, and I am grateful. I do wonder how they will cope when they are older.

Will those I love make the right decision and live for Christ? Will they be with me in the afterlife? A place of life, light, joy and peace. I pray they will. I don’t want them to suffer in a place of unquenchable fire, utter darkness, weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth. Oh, choose life, my loves. This is my greatest concern. The one that drives me to my knees.
