I have just finished reading the Autobiography of General of the Army Omar Bradley. It is an impressive life he led. He was a christian, and his life's story bears that out. From growing up in poverty to retiring General of the Army, (5 stars, only a handful of men in the history of the Army have ever been honered with that fifth star)he was respected by friends and enemies alike as a man of integrity.
He had no desire to lead men in battle. He came to hate war and until the day he died he carried the guilt of sending young men into battle. In effect, he was ordering men in thier late teens and early twenties to die.
He did his job, and lived his life in a way that honored God. It is easy to see that reading his life story. It was not so easy for the one living it to see.
Corrie Ten Boom was a believer that saw nothing special about herself. She simply lived her life, and did the best she could, desiring to honor God. Her life included being a prisoner in a NAZI concentration camp for the "crime" of hiding Jews.
My point is....Perhaps I have a different perspective because I am 44, and never married. I realize how short life is, how short our lives really are. I would like to marry, but if I do not, that is alright. What matters to me is Serving God.
I know Karen and Derek feel the same way about living for the Lord.
I guess What I am trying to say is, I do not know what tomorrow, or next week, or next year holds. I am content to pray I make good choices, and let the Lord guide those decisions.
