I awoke at 1:33 am, and felt sorrow and tears of My Heavenly Father grieving over His lost children. I found myself praying as I reflected on yesterday.
I was in the clubhouse of the community where I live, surrounded by “seniors” from all walks of life and racial backgrounds. You know, the 60+ group, #sixtyplus waiting to get free manicures.
Conversation and laughter abounded. It amazed me that many were still concerned with keeping up with the joneses, the #partyoverhere – singing and dancing, the boyfriends, etc.
(SIDEBAR: I was like, it’s not easy for me to meet or hook up with a nice guy. Say what! How? Where?)
One 80 year old was still meeting men, and a 70 year old even showed me pics and videos of “good times” had by all, including a cake of an anatomical part I was not happy to see, as she had not warned me in advance.
Call me #oldschool#oldfashioned or even #narrowminded and I will agree with you. Been that way from a child and it’s #mychoice#unapologetically#me
One of the ladies from yesterday said to me,
“you are a believer”. I responded yes and she requested prayer for her sister who was hit by a car. Absolutely 
– #praying
So, here I am this morning, praying for me, my neighbors, the world….
I hear Jesus saying, “I am coming Soon, but many are not ready. Many are not hearing My Voice which is drowned out by the noise and traffic of daily life.
NARROW!
Jesus said the path to eternal life is #narrow meaning when you walk it – it’s in a single file. The breadth or width is limited by walls or boundaries only wide enough to walk one behind another.
Nevermind who else is or isn’t on that road.
Keep walking. Eyes forward.
It’s not easy, the terrain is not always smooth, there are mountains, plains, valleys, changing weather, potholes – along with challenges, namecalling, detours, detractors, disappointments.
But there are joys too, triumphs, victories! Others have gone ahead and are cheering for you. Others are following you as you follow Christ, so cheer for them too.
