Gratefulness To Combat Our Fearful Future (Video)

As we watch Bible prophecy unfold in real time, it’s important to remember the Source of our strengths; the utmost source of endurance, faith and hope, The Lord God. Remember the good things and let’s not focus negatively on the horrific events on our not-so-distant horizons. Prepare, yes, but remember to prepare spiritually first.

GRATEFUL FOR THIS NEW LEASE ON LIFE, THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE THE TIME to be outdoors experiencing, sighting, encountering, exploring, smelling, hearing, feeling, tracking, enjoying, documenting, collecting, photographing, fearing.Grateful for the physical demands; the climbing, the meager oxygen, the falling, the decent, the blisters, the aching muscles, the pain, cuts and bruises, the heat, the cold, the hunger and the thirst. Even the threatening times, the terror, the confusion, or when I’ve attempted a trail far beyond my experience or abilities.

Grateful that I began to notice that I tend to look down, straight ahead or to the side as I walk. Rarely up. Once I began to look up, what a refreshing perspective! (Not to mention the numerous stars!) This perspective reminds me to look up to Him, in all circumstances. In all trials, joyous occasions, new experiences, past experiences, and throughout my life, because there are continuous lessons to be learned and appreciated. It’s amazing what can be discovered when I look up time to time.

Grateful that I’m never too old to learn, to enjoy, to embrace, to change. Cherished family, good friends, warm hearts become my sum total.  The heartache, trials and loss although perceived as beyond my ability of bearance, somehow I endure and I survive, building strength and character along the way.  My heart overflows with memories and timeline snapshots of my life, some more vibrant than others, but forever locked away never to be forgotten.

I’m grateful and appreciate all of it. For I have a completely new field and range of admiration towards my creative, wise, uncreated God by witnessing His handiwork and experiencing His discipline, lessons, companionship, protection, His leading, clear intervention and approval. And through this, I am also finding purpose along the way.

And most importantly: He loves me and isn’t afraid to show it.

As we watch Bible prophecy unfold in real time, it’s important to remember where our strengths lie, the utmost source of endurance, faith and hope. Remember the good things and let’s not focus negatively on the horrific events on our not-so-distant horizons.
