"I had an insight while out praying
today. I was reflecting on the passion
and imagining the terror of that ordeal that from start to finish probably
lasted 18 hours and I realized that Christ was not afraid as we would be, not
because he was God but because he trusted in God. In other words fear is frequently about what
is to come, but I am thinking that Christ lived in the moment which was in
harmony with His Father. In other words
Christ had no need to look beyond the present because he trusted in His Father
to provide for his every need. In that sense
Christ’s reference to the birds of the air makes a whole lot more sense. The lesson is clear for all of us. Stop worrying about the future. Tomorrow is not guaranteed. Live today and let God take care of
tomorrow. Mother often said that God
takes care of his own."
The mother to whom my Dad refers is my grandmother, Mama Connie. I miss her so much!
Side story - her luggage got lost, so the only thing she had to wear to my wedding was the dress she wore on the plane. She was so embarrassed. I think she looked beautiful.
It's like you read my mind! You seem to know a lot about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you can do with some pics to drive the message home a little bit, but instead of that, this is fantastic blog. A great read. I will definitely be back.
