Nothing else matters

Have you ever experienced a time when you were so hushed by something that is happening that nothing else matters around you. I can say that the moment each of my girls were born, I was feeling hushed and in awe of Gods beauty and blessings. For brief moments I unaware of anything else going on around me. Unfortunately shortly after giving birth like most people I experienced the anxious feeling of what now. A new life in this crazy world is an awesome responsibility.
Life continuing in this world makes me reflect on eternity. Eternity is something most everyone thinks about in their life. Some come to the conclusion that there is the beginning of life, and the end of life, and that is all there is. These people devote their lives to the pursuit of their own happiness and pleasures, but in the end most realize that these pleasures ultimately do not satisfy. God wants us to find satisfaction beyond earthly pleasures. He wants us to find the peace of mind that when our time hear on earth is done there is a life with Him in a home more satisfying then any here on this earth.
Everything that happens in this world happens at the time God chooses. Man is time-bound on this earth and there is a time for everything. Read Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8 and beyond. If you look it up on crosswalk.com and read it in the different versions you get the full impact of what the book is trying to tell us.
God wants us to have pleasure and joy in our life. He wants us also to think about eternity and judgment. God shall judge everyone and requires an account of what is in our past. Unless we acknowledge God the maker of heaven and earth, the maker of all things that take our breath away (including babies) and render us speechless, we will not see eternity with Him in heaven.
There is hope beyond what we can imagine, hope bigger and better then the most excellent thing we could think about happening to us in this life on this planet earth.
