Mrs. Carrington's Journal
� Mar. 16, 2006 - Pensive
I have become very somber as I reflect on the death of a fellow homeschool mom blogger, one year younger than me. Sometimes, I get so caught up in things of this world. I know Jesus warned us about worrying about what to wear and what to eat yet I continue to pray for help in this area.
How much though do I put my thoughts and actions towards the eternal? Do I consider eternal consequences as I move throughout my day? Do I undertake every task, no matter how mundane, as if it could be my last?
Missey's death, along with the untimely death from cancer of another mom in my community, has made me more thoughtful. I am more mindful of not leaving important sentiments unsaid, cheeks unkissed or bodies unhugged.
Lord, I know we have faced some challenges as a family. But oh how grateful I am for all that You have blessed us with- especially our family and friends. Let me never lose sight of what is most important to You- You first and the relationships with those you have sent into my life second. All else pales in comparison. May a piece of these tragedies remain with me forever as a reminder.
My prayers go out to the families of those two dearly departed moms.
