I have no idea. I can’t think that far ahead because I don’t know if it will come.

I have today, and I will live it pleasing to the Lord.

The number of my days He will fulfill.

He may come again this very minute, and my job is to be ready for Him.

Sure, I have some plans for the future, but enjoy today cause tomorrow may never come.

In a soon coming day, he will call all his waiting people home to live with him forever.

When?

No one knows, but what is interesting is that when it happens, it will be different.

Like the song says:

Two men walking up a hill, one disappears, and one is left standing still. I wish we all were ready. Man and wife asleep in bed she hears a noise and turns her head , he’s gone.

There is no time to change your mind. The Son has come and you’ve been left behind.

Three more wishes, of course.

He was larger than life. He had a big heart. In love with his wife from the moment he saw her until his death. Loved his children and grandchildren. Had a beautiful speaking and singing voice and had a fantastic memory.

Mostly, he loved his Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and followed him faithfully.

He wasn’t perfect, but that too made him the coolest Dad ever.

Walking, I can do easily. There was a time I had a leg injury, and I couldn’t walk. I worked at it. And thank God I can move again.

Walking is great. It doesn’t cost much but to wear good shoes and I get to see the sites around me.

And I get to talk to myself while people think I am crazy. Who else am I going to talk to when I am walking alone? Really?

Love to go part-time with my full-time time job and make my side hustle my full-time job. A paying full-time job.

This side gig has to pay off else I am dead in the water.

Don’t get me wrong, I love my job and I am working at keeping both things side and front hustle alive and well.

The Lord provided both for me. I am not walking away from either. That would be ungrateful.

I am blessed with family. Some people don’t have family, and the family they have are not worth talking about, but not mine. When I say family, I mean my siblings and parents.

Sure, we fight at times because our opinions are different and we are all strong characters.

Mom and Dad are both gone into glory, but they were not perfect but excellent.

Values they taught will last forever, and God was good to bless us with them.

I am working on a romantic suspense novel. It is a love-hate relationship where I am concerned. For a moment or two, I hate the work, but then, as my characters develop and the plot unfolds, I get lost in a make belief world of my own construction and love every second of it all.

Writing is a craft I enjoy doing. I give thanks to the Lord for this gift that grows with every twist of my plots and every turn my imagination takes.

I love a lazy day, not that I am a lazy person full of sloth but I need that time for myself. I need some me time. It is a time I gather my thoughts, wake up later, eat when I want, and spend time with my family including my puppies.

I also have time to settle down and speak to the Lord without falling asleep after a long day or rushing through my prayer.

Lazy days are just great and precious.

Successful does not mean to me how well you live or how much money you have in the bank.

It is a fulfillment, a completion whereby there is satisfaction.

Jesus did it all.

He came to die so that the world might be saved from God’s wrath that will come. His death brought us back to God where we can call God Father, and we will be with him forever.

His sacrifice conquered death, hell, Satan, and the grave because He lives in heaven seated at the right hand of God. God is pleased with his son’s work, and we are blessed.

That is perfect, and to me, eternal success. You don’t have to believe it. But it will not change this fact that Christ died for your sins and that he was buried and he rose again. You only have to accept it and trust him.

He lives.
