… yeah, heart failure this summer has kinda made it clear:
Life’s detours means God wants you to run right into His arms so He can reconstruct your heart.
Lying in a hospital bed, hooked up to all the blinking monitors, all I can think is:
You only get so much time before here is over. There is only so much time.
There’s only so much time to forgive, to wipe slates clean, to make things right when you’ve gotten things wrongs.
There is only so much time to make love your life.
And this I’ve come to know: sometimes when it feels like things are falling apart — we’re all just really falling into the arms of God.
[excerpted from our little Facebook family … come join us each day?]
That’s all for this weekend, friends.
Go slow. Be God-struck. Grant grace. Live Truth.
Give Thanks. Love well. Re – joy, re- joy, ‘re- joys’ again
