“Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes…” James 4:14

It is a fundamental truth. Mist. Vapor. Fog. Look it up in any translation the meaning is the same– temporary and quickly vanishing. Of course this reminder came to me in the midst of heartache and tragedy, again.

And this time, God has graciously and patiently imparted a drop of wisdom on my heart.

I’m an observer. There are countless things that I admire about so many folks I have the opportunity to connect with. Why do I hesitate to share those insights with them? It’s awkward and the words come out like the first time I tried to say “I love you.” But, I believe I should start sharing anyway.

I don’t know if I will be the next fleeting vapor or they may be, but either way–love can’t hurt. I could talk more about my great Love, even if it’s a bit fumbly, or Heaven Forbid! if it’s not well received. Because life is a vapor. And after all, tomorrow never comes.
