I feel a certain amount of detachment these days.  I just thought it was because I am getting older and the empty nest syndrome was kicking in.  I still do all the things I have always enjoyed doing but ... who is going to enjoy the fruits of my labor.  I feel a certain finality about thing of earth.  The old hymn states, "Turn your eyes upon Jesus, look full in His wonderful face and the things of earth will grow strangely dim in the light of His glory and grace."  The highlight of my week is Sunday morning worship and Bible study.  The highlight of each day is the drive to work when I listen to Alistair Begg's sermons on the radio.  I find my self hungering for His Word.  The more I get, the more I want!
 
The things happening in the world alarm me and concern me.  I am not afraid but I feel such sorrow at man's inhumanity to man.  I know it is because we are living in a world of sin.
 
I long for release from this world and to see Heaven's glory.  I feel sad because I know there are those who will not be going with us.  There are people who profess to be Christians who do not really know the Lord.
 
I feel a certain amount of guilt because I have not been more active in proclaiming His love.  I was taught that my life was a book before their eyes and people would see Jesus in me.  I know now that is not enough.  I wish I had been more vocal.
 
I am just so glad to be a member of the Family of God.  Alistair Begg once said we should be singing "I'm surprised I'm a part of the Family of God..."
 
Tonight I looked up at the night sky and marveled at the moon and the stars, the Big Dipper.  This morning I looked at the sunrise and marveled at the beautiful colors in the sky.  And everytimg, I wonder if this will be the day.
