A couple weeks back
some friends were mentioning their bucket list, the done and to-do again and the still need to check off. I piped in with my theory
or belief:
"I don't have a
bucket list. I figure anything I would
like to do here and don't get a chance will be made abundantly opportune in the ever lasting
life. ["interesting" the comment from
the one friend] So yes, buckets abundant or abundant buckets…no list
required."
I feel, deeply, this
life is to deepen my soul. With self,
with others and more than anything with God; because of Jesus and via the
Living Spirit. The deeper my relationship with Him, bubbling spring, bucket not required for refreshment...whatever is set aside or tabled or not available to me here would be parching. It's to be of
no worry for it shall all and more be waiting hereafter--where time shall never be pressed for!
Perhaps this sounds
I'm off my rocker but, I must confess, this earth has nothing I want to possess
or anything that I really feel I am missing by not experiencing. It does however invite me into the robust
realm of its infinite wonder.
Leaving me wanting access to all of it. Glimpses lived while here a mere appetizer. In waiting--imagining the beauty of so much
unknown and time periods of those lived who awe me - to watch the bold, creative,
mind of Michelangelo in action. I could go on and on!
The Lord knows my heart, so, my "bucket
list" consists of what is infinite…in a world without end. Amen.
heavy-laden 'tis this heart of mine
