Sacred time

It’s all sacred time, but how many of us really knew that before a couple of weeks ago?

The urge is to wish for these days of fear and loneliness and loss to be over.

But my mom always used to say: “Don’t wish your life away.”

These days–yes, even these days–are sacred time. For better or worse, they are part of your one and only life. They are a chapter in your life story. When they are gone, you will never get them back.

“The LORD giveth and the LORD taketh away. Blessed be the Name of the LORD!” (Book of Job 1:21)

To see with eyes of faith is always a choice that is always in your control.

These days are nonrenewable, rare, and sacred.

Will you choose to see it that way?

Will you choose to live that way?

Grace and peace.
