I have been doing a lot of thinking lately about "this time last year". I have had so many things happen to me recently and all I can think about is "this time last year" or "this time 20 years ago, or 12 years ago, or 10 years ago. It just goes to show you that you really don't have control of your destiny. God's plan is much bigger than yours- if you look back and do the old "if I had it to do all over" thing, and try to think of your life as if you did it over, just think all the good you would have missed and how messed up your life really would have been.
This time last year I was in Mexico having a blast- now I am taking care of my Mother who has stage 4 lung cancer. This has been a very rough weekend, nothing like "this time last year". I wish my Mother was on the beach right now; breathing the wonderful sea air on her own- without the aid of this machine and all the drugs she is on and all the chemo and radiation she has going through her body. It makes me wonder about "this time next year".
I pray that God will give me the patients to accept "time" on his schedule. Cherish your time now and make the most of everyday.
