My Kids

I did a post earlier this year about how we look at life incorrectly.
Because we see life and its immediate impact, we react and repeat - maybe we figure out we got it all wrong.
Life is not about us.
What goes on around us, is not about us either.
So what is?
Not much.

Our perfection of our relationship with our Creator is important.
Such a struggle!
Mostly because we face life corrupted by man's fall from grace and Satan's fall to Earth.
sigh
The more we foul up, the further we drag ourselves away from God.
Yeah, it is easy enough to try to turn around - if we are at all allowed the opportunity.
Remember, life gets in the way though.
And opportunities are not always available ...

Like everyone, I struggle.
I forget where I need to be.
I forget what happened yesterday.
I forget what I am supposed to be doing today ....

But all is made sharp when I am made aware of one of "my kids" fouling up!
Protective pseudo-papa reacts.
I want "my kids" to pass through life easily ......
I want them in the afterlife with me!

So on Monday, yeah I was made aware ...
It was all so unexpected.
It hit too close to home.
And then I had to be reminded of things I no longer know.
Then Satan struck.
And Kris went down in flames.
And the heart gave out yet again.
Then lots of needles ...
Bad day.
But I would not be deterred from prayer in their behalf.

No, there is no resolution for this person.
They learned to skate by in life.
They see no reason to change.
And God?
Well, he gets lip service, but he would NEVER hold them responsible.
(And when he does - he is the one at fault!  Not them!)

I do not know how they will be called back to God.
It is never pleasant, nor pain free.
I just hope when that day comes they remember to let me know.
If I can help, I will.
After all, they are one of my kids ...
