Recently, a lady I knew casually through our local 4-H club was killed in an auto accident. She left two sons and a husband behind. It was a complete shock. And yet several people I know have lost loved ones this past year in similar sudden accidents. It has made me think of choices I have made for myself and my family in a more revealing light. Am I providing my children with enough "Godly guidance", am I giving them a "Godly mom and wife role model", am I being the "Godly help meet" to my husband? Am I eternally focused or for the moment focused?
Unfortunately, I have to confess that I all to often am focusing on the present, on the problem, on the worldly obligations. So I have had to repent of my short sightedness. And I have spent much more time than usual over the past couple of months in my Bible and in prayer. I have been asking God to give me a focused vision for my household and myself. I want to know how I can be a better instrument in God's hands in the molding of my children, in the life of my husband, and in the world.
I read something this week that reminded me again of my duties as a wife, mother, and child of God. Always build up; don't hold anything back; and when in doubt, die to your ways and your ideas and your plans and rely on God's ways, God's ideas, and God's plans. AMEN!
