Charis: Subject to Change 
to truly live… this scripture has been with me too lately. but i have not put the emphasis there, as you have. that is enlightening. i see your tags of change and faith. there´s nothing static about life in Christ, sometimes i wish there was. God bless you today as you too surrender to all the changes He is calling you to… maybe you´ll find it easier than i do.

Deep change is not easy, or it would not last, would it? I am grateful for a loving heavenly Father who cares enough about me to intervene in my messy thinking. Bless you, Angels. He absolutely adores you, you know.

I’ve been blessed to live 37 years more than expected so, everyday is very important to me! I’ve lost 4 very important people in my life that I never thought I’d outlive. I know my days are coming to a close and, each hour my heart prays that I do his will.

You are a continuous inspiration, Deborah. I have no idea of what your life is like. I do know very few people know how to truly live.
In the last year of my best friend’s life she taught me more about living than anyone else. She knew that her time was limited, but we had “I’m not dead yet” days when we simply enjoyed making music together. She was a marvellous pianist.
My own mother had a rare disease and was told she would probably not live more than a few months. For a few months she grieved about knowing she could die suddenly, then she became tired of dying, and got out of bed and like you, lived 27 years longer than anyone predicted.
This week I was caring for my 88 year-old mother-in-law, who had serious heart problems. I realized that when time is limited life is even more precious. We are so grateful to doctors who recognized that an elderly person’s remaining time is precious and offered her excellent medical treatment that will allow her to continue to live independently a little longer. We know that there is more than we can see here and that eternity with Jesus is going to be greater than anything we can imagine, but those who are aware of their mortality seem to also be more aware of living in the now. You are a wonderful example to us all. You are blessed and deeply loved, Deborah.

Grace,,, if you could only feel what I feel when i read your words! Dying is so beautiful and a dimension only God can give…your friend had the Spirit beating near as does your mom in-law.. Time, for me, has always seemed seemingly even keeled despite my life’s hurdles and constant physical pain, but the harder my trials, the clearer my vision, my perspective sees the details just enough to live within my dying dystrophy. Thank you for allowing me close contact with your spirit that beats with truth & light. I sincerely mean that ! With rooted love ~your friend ~Deborah
