What a thoughtful post! I was greatly impacted by your comments on the fragility of life. I remember coming to terms with the boundedness you described, 30 years ago, when I was 37. I was teaching a Sunday school class to other “young-married” couples and discovered the Wisdom of Psalm 90, which instructs us to “number our days,” but to also be “satisfied in the morning with your steadfast love.” We were going through some significant family transitions and facing another military relocation, so Psalm 90 came at the right time! In the context of your post, I was reminded of Psalm 90:16,17.
“Let your work be manifest to your servants, and your glorious power to their children. Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands upon us, yes, establish the work of our hands. - Psalm 90:16-17
So in our “becoming” the step by step process you highlighted is wrapped in prayer to God to work in our lives, and bless us with his favor, as we use his good gifts for his glory!
I love all that Chuck. Thanks for reading and commenting. And I actually put that section of Psalm 90 on every week of my homeschooling planner! I need the consistent reminder. 🙂
