Monday at the Mission

Monday, July 21, 2008 
Greetings!

Cooking is one of my passions!  So grocery shopping is an adventure as I seek out new ingredients to try out on my husband and family. 
 
Lately, however, my enthusiasm has diminished somewhat due to all the government warnings about the possibility of product contamination.  I long for the "good old days" when I shopped shop without concern for expiration dates, "use before..." warnings or terms such as "shelf life."
Now when I shop for British jams and preserves for my husband, I am reminded that even preserves can't be preserved forever!  Then I realize that neither can we.  We each have an "expiration date."
 
"The years of our life are threescore years and ten."  Psalm 90:10  And therefore we need to continually number our days ... that is, to count our days .. and focus our lives upon the wisdom of the Lord. 
 
These are sobering thoughts for a hot, lazy summer day.  And yet, as I am surrounded by God's infinite love and mercy, I feel energized to begin a new day, seeking His direction for my life.
 
Enjoy a wonderful week,
 
Barbara
