Reminiscing

Looking back and looking forward in one's life are different when living in God's grace compared to not living with the complete feeling that God is truly caring for everything that a person is.

A paused mind (not easy in today's 24/7 locked-in world), maybe when slightly drunk, can lead people to pine for an earlier time before their current troubles began. Yet, I perceive that experience in reverse. God shows us his love as we experience difficulties. "These days" are in fact the days that will try our patience the most, and days past were only worse than today since a smaller life experience of the past meant that one's understanding of grace was smaller.

When I reminisce I really end up imagining how good it soon will be, once our frail bodies are made whole. We have every blessing we could ever need, now. Only our physical weakness is holding us back. That will end very soon.
