I just need to get something off my chest and throw it out there for some feedback.
(It is too long for FB so I am putting it here.)
That picture is us. My sweet fella is 70 now, and I am 67.
We have been married 48 years, and very very happy.
We are in good health barring aches and pains that seem to come with age.
Here is what I am perplexed about:
We have a lot of friends and acquaintances who have serious health issues.
Cancer, heart attacks, Alzheimers, strokes. Some younger than us have passed away already.
We are more grateful than words can say for our good health, and overall state of well being.
We love the Lord, and people, and are so grateful for our lives.
But I have been having this feeling that we need to 'do something'. Anything. Not just sit around and wait for one of those health issues to hit us. We really have no desire to travel...(well, my sweet fella is most content to just stay home and relax.....he is retired and deserves that.) He helps with things around the house, and I run my little store with a lot of help from my Mom, granddaughter, sweet fella and friends.
We live a comfortable and usually content life, looking for others to help. God has blessed us so we can bless others.
But there is still that nagging...that 'get up and do something so we do not regret not doing it later' feeling. I think my 'adventure' spirit is urging me to go have some fun, and I enjoy it most when my fella is with me.
Neither of us are feeling a 'calling' to foreign ministry, but do try to minister to those God puts in our lives every day.
But the "Urgency" to do something still nags me.
So, while we spend out days and evenings praying for marriages, addictions, and serious health issues for others.....I remain.....perplexed.
This is a chance I hope some of you will take to either give me feed back from things you have learned along these lines, or think of your own lives, and what you are doing, or not doing, while you still can.
Blessings in Him
