Today is Easter Sunday, a day of hope and restoration for millions who have put their trust in Jesus Christ for their eternity. Faith seems to be another major difference among us with CF. I’ve seen blogs proclaiming a living faith in Jesus and others who just go on “hoping” each day for a good day and others who are angry at the world.
I have to agree with one of my Cyster’s posts that I read this week right before she went in for her lung transplant. I don’t have it in front of me, but it read something like “Either I was going to be breathing like I hadn’t in years in a couple of days or like I never have before with my Maker tonight.”
There is a comfort knowing what the eternal future holds, even if the immediate future is unclear. None of us knows what tomorrow holds. Just because we have CF doesn’t mean a traffic accident or crime won’t take us away from our loved ones. If you died today, where would you spend eternity?
Happy Easter everyone. He is risen!
Good stuff, Jesse! I've been considering for a while that every one of us (CF or not) is potentially just one heartbeat away from either the best day of our lives or the worst. And God graciously lets us decide for ourselves which it will be. ๐
