Realizing from the psalm that God has chosen a different, perfect lifespan for each of us was a huge step for me.

In fact, I didn't fully comprehend the meaning of this Psalm until after I lost my husband. <br /><br />Honestly, before my husband went to Heaven; I avoided anything that had to do with dying. We were only in our 40's so we were more concerned about what most 40 year old parents with a high school teen would worry about.<br /><br /> I mean wasn't it a little too early to think about dying? I was very naive in thinking we lived in a protected garden until old age.<br /><br /> This Psalm is telling us that we do not live in a protected garden; the reality is that we are just wild flowers out in the open. We are unprotected and at the hands of nature.<br /><br /> We could be a beautiful strong flower today and tomorrow we could be wilting. The Lord knows how frail our life is and has compassion for all of us.<br /><br /> The Lord's eternal love brings us comfort and hope as we live out each day not knowing what the day will bring. <br /><br />God does know and we have that protection, comfort, and hope in knowing that his Love will never wilt. <br /><br />♥ <br />~CathyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
