When one is nearing the octogenerian marker, there is a temptation to look in the rearview mirror way too often.
After all, the great percentage of my life will appear there, not out the front windshield.
However, I do not want the mindset of always being tempted to look at what has already happened. Sure, there are many great memories but I want to look ahead at what God is still going to accomplish through me and my life.
I must be at the ready. Always primed to respond to the call, to do what I am equipped to do--not what I was prepared to do ten years ago but to work with what I have today. Time changes things. Am I ready to deal with the changes?
"Be ready when opportunity presents itself"--just NOW heard that on TV while I was writing this post. How crazy!
