If you're reading this {and it's still Thursday morning}, I am on my way to a funeral. My husband's aunt passed away after a two-year battle with cancer. Thankfully, she was a believer in Jesus and her life was the proof. She never complained and never questioned. She wholeheartedly trusted in her savior.
Today is also my birthday. I don't say that to take your thoughts away from my husband's sweet family who need your prayers as they mourn the loss of a woman that we all dearly loved. I share that because, in light of what is going on today, my mind can't help but think about life. We're celebrating the day I was given life and we're also celebrating the life of this precious lady who is now in her eternal home.
As much as we have reason to celebrate today, I can't help but reflect on my life. Am I living it to the fullest? Am I living it for Christ? Am I being a good steward of all that I've been given? Am I loving and serving those around me? Endless questions with answers that, if I were being completely honest, are shameful. But, I'm determined that this day, just as it was all those years ago, is a new beginning. It's a chance to change the answers to those questions.
Do you need a new beginning? If so, I beg you, please do not wait until it's too late. The good news is, you don't have to wait until your next birthday or a new year to make those changes. You can start today. Let today be, in a way, your birthday, too... your new beginning.
*Blessings*
