Ever look out the window of your house into your back yard only to to see your furry friend stretched out on the grass, soaking in the afternoon sun? Those are the moments I envy my dog's life. She doesn't have a care in the world...other than hunting the shadows of butterflies. Yep. Tail out straight, ears up, and eyes focused waiting to pounce on the next unsuspecting shadow. I can say with 100% accuracy that she has never caught a one. Can you understand the envy of such a simplistic existence?
Needless to say, life has been busy and overwhelming lately. I could go into great detail and explain the complexities of my struggles, but then you would probably be thinking, as I would if had to read a diatrib of self-pity, "Join the club. We all have problems." So, to spare you the time of replying with some wity criticism concerning my whining, I'm going to reflect on todays sermon from church.
The pastor put it all in perspective today. In fact, I'm going to download his message onto my iPod and listen to it everyday. What was his message, you ask? Well, God is in control and this world is not the end. We were created to be immortal. We will live out eternity in either Heaven or Hell. Such a simple message, but profound. My eternity is secure in God's hands. I don't need to fret about trials and stresses of this life.I need to focus on Him and living for Him. He will take care of the rest.
I don't need to envy my little shadow hunter. I need to trust in the Lord and keep eternity in mind.
