Hello everyone! Sorry I haven't blogged much lately, but to tell you the truth the closer we get to leaving this place the busier I seem to get. I have thought about blogging many times, but something always gets in the way. However, tonight I make a special effort to pass on something I heard in Church this morning that may actually have applications to everyday living, but certainly applies to those of us far away and longing to be home.
I have been counting down the days until I come home. I have 15 before I leave on my next vacation and roughly 75 days, after I return from vacation, before I leave this country to be reunited with my family after a long 16 months away. I thought nothing of it until this morning when the Pastor said he too was counting the days until he leaves, which is in the next two weeks. "But, he said, I can hear my commander saying "Don't count the days until you are no longer here, but rather make everyday that you are here count."
I long to be home, but I also long to do what God has for me to do. Let's all make everyday in this earth count.
By the way, this morning before Church on the Mike Huckabee Show Kathy Lee Gifford said that "if you have a pulse you have a purpose". We all have a God given purpose. Let's not waste the time God has given us here looking so far in the future we miss the moment.
As always, pray for our troops and their families and God bless you all.
