Life

What makes you feel nostalgic?

Life happens. Much of it is wonderful and good, but parts are bad.

This “new normal” makes me want to go back to former days.

Remember, when hugs were normal?

Going to the market makes me wish for former days. 50 years ago when I went to the market with my mother, I would never see anybody in their pajamas. I didn’t have to worry about pronouns because males were male and females were female, and we could tell the difference with our eyes. we didn’t have a bunch of plastic bags. We didn’t have to worry about organic because Monsanto wasn’t around yet.

Would I want to go back to kinder simpler times? No. I want the kind and simple back, and I have a lot of questions that I could ask to people who are gone now, but I wouldn’t go back.

I was lost. I was spiritually dead to God. I knew about God and I had a form of religion, but I didn’t know God. I know him now and I wouldn’t trade that for anything.

I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me,

John 10:14

No amount of anything from the past is worth trading for the relationship. I have with Jesus now. I have a whole prayer notebook of answered prayer. My prodigal son came back to me. My friend, who was in a wheelchair is walking. The neuropathy I had in my feet is gone. But the best thing about having a relationship with Jesus is the love that I feel from him the peace that he gives me And the joy that I feel from our relationship.

So there may be moments that I feel nostalgic, but I’m good with the present, and I know who holds the future.
