Flawless

What would it be like to have a flawless body? Until my latest bout with cancer, I thought that my body was almost flawless. Well, maybe I was a little overweight! The eyes were failing, but I fixed that by wearing bifocals. My sore back only acted up when I twisted the wrong way or lifted something that was too heavy.

This last week was a real reminder that I'm still living in the realm of the flawed. After having the stent between my kidney and bladder replaced, I was completely wiped out and useless for the rest of the day. Even though this is my week off of chemo (I have it 3 Thursdays out of 4), I still needed the blood test which revealed that my white cell count (immune system) was very low. Boy am I flawed!

While going through the Old Testament for my daily time with God, I read 2 Samuel 22:31, "...the words of the LORD are flawless." This was worth pondering. Everything on the earth is flawed in some way. It's either dying or deteriorating, but here is an exception~~God's Word! So with limited time to spend here on earth, what will I do with my time? Spend it with flawed, temporal things or with something that is eternal? Flawless? God's Word?

Interesting that this topic would come up when so many are wondering what will happen tomorrow. Some are saying that the rapture will take place and others that the end of the world will come. I don't know about you, but as for Mary and me, we have placed our faith and hope is Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. Bring it on. We're ready!
