DAYDREAMING

 

Looking back seems to be a natural human instinct. We imagine that the sun always shone when we were young, that things were simpler then, more wholesome. The "good old days" are always the golden age, far better than now.
The trouble is that the "good old days" never really existed. When we go back and look at them we discover that people then also harked back to the "good old days". No matter how far back we go, we find that the "good old days" go back even farther.

But there is no point in focusing on the past. As Christians, we must always live in the reality of the present, of the here and now  for it is only in the present that we will find God. Nor is there any need for us to be afraid. We can be confident that the Holy Spirit is with us because that was the promise of Jesus.

 

Sometimes

If times are hard and you feel blue
Think of others worrying too
Just because your trials are many
Don't think the rest of us haven't any
Life is made up of smiles and tears
Joys and sorrows mixed with fears
And though to us it seems one sided
Trouble is pretty well divided
If you could look in every heart
We'll find that each one has his part
And those who travel fortune's road
Sometimes carry the biggest load
