Living In the Light of Eternity

Something happens making you look at death's door straight on; You pray about it. God always answers though it may not be the answer you expected or even wanted, but.... One prayer might actually counter another you already made before though you didn't realize it! Yet there you stand looking at some path beyond the door you never imagined facing. A path you've never walked not the way you might need to; you look at your broken body wondering how you can make it. All you know for sure is God will walk that path by your side, no matter where it may take you if you must go. One prayer answered you ask Him once more to answer the other the way you want it to go. Death's door recedes the news of the day taking it mercifully with God's nod; you don't fear death, but.... Life still has so much to offer. SKB
