So, guess what!?! I survived moving, thanks to all my WONDERFUL friends! I love my new place and I envision many wonderful memories within and outside of the walls. Queens seems to be enjoying the new place as well. And she got a brand new, fancy litter box to go with the new digs. How spoiled is she!?!
Being in a new house and the excitement I have to make it my home reminds me somewhat of Christianity and how we should be always working on keeping that joy alive. I have been a Christian for so long (since I was 5) that there are times when I have to almost force myself to feel the joy and excitement of the newness of my faith. It is evident on the faces of people as they give their life over to Christ, and it should be evident in those of us that have been HIS for decades. Yet, in the day to day living we sometimes get so busy that we lose that joy, it becomes just part of us. Just like in a few weeks my apartment will be lived in and the newness of moving will have worn off. The newness and the joy of Christ should never wear off.
That could be why my great Uncle changed the words in Amazing Grace. The last verse goes (in part) "When we've been there ten thousand years bright shining as the sun..." Uncle Dewey would sing "When we've been there ten TRILLION years bright shining as the sun, we've no less days to sing God's praise than when we first begun." And he was right. We will be with the Lord for ETERNITY if we accept Him, so these few years on earth, even the most mature Christian is just a babe in the faith, compared to how we will be in Heaven. How exciting is that!?! I get to worship Christ for literally EVER!
AMEN!!!
