90,000 miles. 4 years. 22,500 miles per year. How can that be possible? We JUST bought that Toyota minivan! Right? Didn't we? we didn't? how.can.that.be?
Seriously though. I seems like it is brand new... if so many years of owning that van have zipped by without me realizing... what else have I missed?
I know that there is no way these kids that eat my food could possibly be mine. Two of them are taller than me! MUCH taller than me! My kids are little...not at all tweens and teens! No.way. not possible.
Marriage. 15 years of it! Could it be? Seriously? Have Tom and I been married for that long? I guess we have. Sometimes it seems more like 50 years...LOL...sometimes it seems like just 2 or maybe 5. How is it that 4 weeks in the hospital seems to have lasted longer than 7 months home?
When I get to thinking about these things I realize I am focused on earthly, temperal things. Things that make me lose focus on where my eyes should be. Things that will cause me to leave the narrow path.
So, I find myself as usual faced with focusing on myself and my lacking ways...there are so many of them! I get caught up in regret, anxiety or fear. Times like this I have to remind myself where my focus should lie.
"Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things." Col 3:2
Amen to that.
