Envision rest!

I have been traveling like a mad-man and am nearing exhaustion. I work all day and fly all night putting in fifteen hour days on average going to a different city every night. This has left me no time to post a WFTD. I asked a friend of mine to choose some old WFTD’s from the website and post them for me and apparently some people were confused because he selected some that were written five years ago and in one I stated I was 54 years old and in another that I had been married 30 years, (I’m 59 and have been married thirty five years.) Even my wife e-mailed me to remind me that I am actually 59 and not 54 as the WFTD related. (Duhhh if I needed reminding about getting old.)

It seems that at a time when I should logically be slowing down and relaxing, I am busier than ever. I never seem to have enough time to do anything. I was talking to one of our employees the other day and he related to me that he wished that he could just stop the world for two full days to allow him time to catch up. I can sympathize with him and in fact would like about a week or two. Even if this wish came true, it would not be long before we would be right back where we were, running hard and struggling to catch up.

Fortunately I have always been more of a visionary, meaning I look far into the future and not so much today or tomorrow. That includes into the next life. I heard Larry king make the comment when discussing the death of Christopher Reed’s wife last night on CNN how final death is. The person to whom he made the comment refuted this statement correctly stating that the spiritual life just begins upon the expiration of our earthly bodies. There is noting final about death!

It is easy for me to look beyond the here and now, tomorrow, the grave, and into paradise and being in the presence of our Lord. Jesus promises rest to the weary and a peaceful existence forever. I am tired right now and the day has not yet even begun in earnest, but knowing this gives me comfort. Become a visionary yourself. When weary, discouraged, sick, in pain, frustrated, et al, just envision what is soon to be. Try it you will like it
