Well, Jesus certainly did leave much more of a place of glory to dwell among men than I have ever experienced. But the things I've become aware of that never crossed my mind before have been interesting. In just 2 months, I'd forgotten how to text; I turn keys around twice in a lock; I notice foods and varieties that are available like never before; I've noticed changes around town, even people who have died in 2 months; I notice microwaves, stoves that don't need matches to light; see the power of prayer; am touched by people's noticing that I've been gone, having prayed for me, hug me when they see me.
I've also been reminded of a chapel talk I heard in Liberia when the speaker told us about 3 things that are true: 1. Life isn't fair 2. People disappoint 3. Love is the answer. We "say" we believe that, and yet our lives don't always show that we do. We act shocked when "some" people don't welcome you (me) home, ignore you (me) as though you (I) "should" be thought about.
May God make me LIVE with an increasing desire to LOVE in all circumstances of life.
Oh, yeah, Monday and Tuesday I must have been living on adrenalin; I felt FINE. Wednesday and today I've drug a bit. "SLOW DOWN" I keep telling myself; "Rome wasn't built in a day."
Some have responded about May 24. I'm thankful that there is interest. I hope it continues to grow.
