Depreciation as all goods purchased but not gold; especially gold tested, tried and purified. Had i owned gold maybe it would have been lost by now seeing how i might have traded it in for paper monies... So appreciation on my part is NOT keeping myself from depreciating but keeping at level that i was granted... Not as in loans or grants but as something true and forever....just as gold tested, tried and purified, if in the correct hands, might be kept forever.
So in quietness and Godliness i try and i do. And this without promises greater than what i have. I have to sometimes even escape from my own expectations.. but not in times past.. newly.. yet still doing that which all do. Reaching the end. And i have learned how to keep myself away from sorrow. Keeping self away from deaths more and more of those near. A family 'gone' is enough to bear through.
A day, a week of life sweet and true can seem like it will last for ever...yet it was only a day or week. When the 2 Men in white apparel asked, 'why do you stand there gazing upward', maybe what They were saying was, 'You have only 1 life'. God, The LORD, Christ Messiah IS about Life. May The holy spirit Who was 'granted' unto me forgive me. In The Name of The Only Begotten Son of The LORD. Until then...forgiveness for my own is asked for. Amen.
