The stresses and strains of life

Been thinking a lot lately of how fast paced the world is. At the age of 70 I never thought I would hear myself say that, and remember when my parents would talk about the world and how it was going I would roll my eyes.........irony!! But it's true, the older you get the more change you see; I hear my grown up children even now saying the same thing. How do we keep up, do we need to keep up, is it possible to keep up? Here's my thoughts:

No, no and again NO!

Well.....my life is just like any other, ups, downs, good, bad. I get frustrated and annoyed and sad at times but I'm learning day by day that the day I became a follower of Christ I chose to let His life be lived through me, not always easy but that is what I pray every day. You see, Jesus Himself told us that in this world we will (not we might) have trouble, fact number 1....accepting it brings some comfort. BUT! Jesus said 'fear not, I have overcome the world' and also 'I will never leave you nor forsake you; so, if I put my trust in Him who created the world and all that is in it, He can and will give me all I need to live this life. So I have no need to worry or fear. Will leave you with a portion of scripture to think about.
