Every Sunday morning, before our church service, we have a prayer session for the service and various other requests. We spend so much time in physical preparation for these things, band practices, sermon preps, bulletins, etc, that it's important to prepare ourselves spiritually for services. Set the tone so to speak. But that is not what this post is about.
I am the youngest attendee to the prayer service by at least 5 or 6 years and really more in comparison with most of the attenders. Like most weeks there is a time of requests for those with needs, and like most weeks there are several requests for health needs and physical healings. During this time when I should have been praying, I was reflecting on my last post. I realized I have another someday. As we prayed for the older members of this group and their heart, blood pressure, arthritis, cholesterol, diabetes, and other ailments, I realized how fortunate I am. I take my youth and my health for granted (even though I feel old and out of shape sometimes). I can scale two steps at time when climbing a set of stairs, easily squat to pick up anything I drop, catch my breath in just about any pick up game, and eat almost anything I want.
But their will come a day, a someday, when; I will have to take my time walking up steps, only watch pick up games, and watch more of what I eat. That seems to be so far off, but actually I’m almost half way there. That makes me want to take advantage of what I can do now and prepare myself for when that next someday comes.
I know I said this in my last post, but it is something that is really sinking in.
MAN TIME FLIES!
