Another week passes by and as I look back, I think, “It was a week, and it happened.” 

Not necessarily a bad thing when an uneventful week goes by. At least nothing tragic happened. 

But when more and more “It was a week” weeks go by, the harder it is to accept that this is what life really is. 

I sometimes wonder if I’ve lived the majority of the exciting parts of life, and if the mundane days I experience now are all that I have to look forward to. It often certainly seems that way – as though there is a hump to get over, but feeling like I’ll never get over it. 

Jesus promised us that we would have life and have it to the full (John 10:10). I believe that is true and that we have eternal life and eternal life starts now. But the thought that part of that eternity is spent here on heard is hard for me to wrap my mind around what it is to live life to the full here on earth. 

I don’t have answers, but I hope that for you and for me that life abundant in Jesus finds us and shows us how to live and love the earthly part of our eternity.
