However...still best to do it.
I've got lots of real cool plans,
and some, I think, are great,
but I'm starting to understand
that I've left them all too late.
I couldn't get to them 'till now,
or maybe I just didn't see
that they were vital, and just how
much they came to mean to me.
But this is really not the end;
I'll start the trip from where I am.
Whatever's waiting round the bend
my effort will not be a sham
for though my breath and lungs are burning,
I'll give my best to every turning.

Andrew, I so appreciate your thoughts here. There's so much spoken in your words. One point of hope I found is that, wherever we are now, we can begin the journey into a closer relationship with God . . . we can do what He's given us to do on earth with whatever time He gives us.
ReplyDeleteI'm praying for you, friend.
Jeanne, please forgive my delayed reply. Things have been rough.
DeleteAnd yes, every moment, even if it is the last one we have, offers the chance to turn to God.
Andrew, your writing is so full and honest. I love this part:

I see you living, moving forward, not giving up, but continuing to fight the good fight till the end which is not the end but the beginning of eternity with Jesus. Amen. Blessings to you and Barb! Praying for you both.
