Maybe at those times, we do well to refocus on our Foundation, our Center, our Lord--and make sure that HE is our hope, peace, security etc. in our hearts and minds.
At least we have read the end of the book and HE WINS, won at Calvary & the empty tomb.
Nevertheless, these 'temporary' 'crucial' things sure can capture our attention, focus, concern.
Am starting to deliberately focus elsewhere in intermissions of time just to keep SOME sort of perspective. LOL.
You were NOT going to make those replies to me, if you remember.
