How do significant life events or the passage of time influence your perspective on life?

Kind of morbid, I know.

Still, after my parents passed I started taking  a good look at my life.

Life is short.

I have to live life well, spirtually, physically, and mentally.

Somethings are so trivial I need to look away and move on before they can stress me out.

We all know stress can kill. Stress can leave you tied up in knots you can never undo without help professionally or otherwise.

I am learning I cannot do life all by myself. I need someone to anchor me. So, I call out to the Lord for help and he provides someone all the time. He provides family or even a stranger to help me along my journey of life. 

But best of all, God provides his word to see me through.

I am never alone.

In life I am learning to take time and to live it without regret.

After all the end can be near.

How do significant life events or the passage of time influence your perspective on life?

It hurt a great deal when my parents died. God fulfilled the number of their days, and I trust his calling them to Glory to be with Him, yet I am human and it hurts.

But, I realize that if they stayed, I would not grow spiritually. Even though I am an adult I still have a way to mature. My age is nothing compared to my state of mind. I may be older in body but my mind and understanding need to catch up.

As I look back, I see I can trust in the Lord and rely on Him and not on people.
