your morning cup of coffee

or my reality right now - waiting for the birth of our baby boy. [hopefully by the time you read this, he'll have made his debut!]

[these are from our 20 week ultrasound]

today i was walking the dog and thinking "okay contractions, anytime now, come soon baby boy,"  and i almost stopped dead in my tracks.

something i read about corrie ten boom popped into my head. apparently she used to say "Jesus, come soon" a lot. "Jesus, come soon."

and it made me stop and wonder - what do i long for more? do i long for the birth of my son more than the return of Christ?

have i really gotten so caught up in this world, that i don't remember that in the next one life will be how it was meant to be?

how often do i live my life in light of eternity?
truthfully? not often.

so, since i'm guessing that many of you are holier than me - how are you purposeful about living life in light of eternity? do you pray for Jesus to come soon?

i'd love to hear your thoughts!
