Karen’s Korner
Life is difficult at best, even when beginning a New Year! We all have those times when we are up against the very things we are trying to avoid! Sometimes, we realize that even though God, in His gifts of mercy, has granted us abilities, gifts, and talents; yet we are still quite incapable of living an effective life without His guidance, direction, and leadership!
We become awesomely aware of our insignificance, our humanity, and the very fact that we are not God, and He is!
When we are young, we have problems, circumstances and questions that are directly related to our earlier lives. We are learning who we are, working through developing relationships, choosing a life mate, marriage, career, and growth.
But as we age and turn those corners, those situations do not become easier, but at times even more difficult!
The aging process itself is very hard…the physical, social, mental, and spiritual well-being take on a more important role! Being alone, navigating new and unchartered seas of our later years…the problems and situations are still there, but with one important difference.
Endurance! We have been through so much and we have made it this far, and there are more miles to travel, thank God. But, when our time comes, we can have that assurance that He has walked beside us and with us every step of the way!
Have a beautiful week.
