K, I'm back and had time to digest this topic. At age 67, I feel qualified to speak to this with some credibility and insight. Sorry to say, most have it all wrong and, sadly, miss what life is really all about. It is NOT stressing over what will happen, what we can an achieve, where we are going, or when we will be called there. ALL of those concerns are really in the hands of the One who created you, and the only thing He requires is your attention, love, and trust. Sadly, it takes a lifetime to develope a full appreciation of all that such an allegiance to a loving Creator can yield in you and around you. Simpy put, our life is to be spent walking in His garden and talking with Him (the way we started out on day one).
Trust in the Lord with everything you have, and DO NOT rely on your understanding of events or appearances. In every situation (be it good or ugly), give Him praise and thanks, and He promises to guide and guard you. Proverbs 3:5,6 my paraphrase *-)
