Lockdown Day 281 - 1 January 2021
New year's in our home is mostly spent celebrating Lukas' birthday, as well as recuperating from the late night on new year's eve. This morning we rose early to take my Bestie to the airport, from where she left for a well deserved holiday. Back home, we busied ourselves with a few chores after which we took an afternoon nap.
Sitting on the stoep late
afternoon, watching the clouds build up and hoping desperately for rain to break this heat wave, I thought a bit more about family and how God designed this unit to be the crown of His Kingdom. How mankind has grossly misunderstood God's plan for families. And how the worldly perspective came to replace Godly principles.
On top of my dancing/singing resolution I decide to add the heart's desire God instilled into His creation: to walk with Him more, to listen to Him more and to live from His Word daily.
As a dysfunctional human being I muse over the fragility of life, love and relationships. Between God and man and also amongst ourselves. About life in general and what we take forward with us in life.
Like when you find yourself without your parents one day, you feel life touching you in a different way. You learn to forget the things that weren't so great or the things they did or say, and you remember how you were loved and how you knew they would lay down their lives for you no matter what.
And that is how life should be lived. To discard the dysfunctionalities, flaws and niggly stuff and to love with all your might, forgive quickly and leave behind any and all ashes all the crashes and burns created. The moment you do that the wind of God's Spirit blows it away, making going forward easy and every step light.
As I fall asleep with the rain falling and wind blowing outside, I know my ashes from 2020 are being washed away and each day I take a step forward into an unknown future with a known God, grateful for Love that conquers all.
