"New"

That is the “topic” of today’s FFF.

For me, all I could think of at first was:

We will soon be getting a new one of these,

due to the accident we were in-yes-

a FULL two weeks ago!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

But, then I realised……I now have a NEW perspective on life!

These two verses from God’s Word come to mind as I pondered this week's theme:

Then He who sat on the throne said,

“Behold, I make all things new.”
Revelation 21:5

&

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ,

he is a new creation;

old things have passed away;

behold, all things have become new.
2 Corinthians 5:17

Now……with this NEW outlook:

I am getting down on the floor & throwing balls with my son.

I am dancing with my two year old a bit more.
(& PRAYING that in one of her clumsy moments
she doesn’t fall into my still VERY sore chest!-ha!!! Ha!!!)

& I am playing quick games of “Blink” with my seven year old.

I am stopping to smell their soft necks-fresh from the tub.

I am listening to all they say-even the difficult to understand ones!

I am cuddling up on the couch with the kiddos to watch things like “Cars.”

I am hugging my hubby more & he’s hugging me a bit more-

although all hugging with me these days has to be gentle-
I keep thinking of the line in the “Princess Bride” where Wesley tells Buttercup as he’s recovering from being “mostly dead”- “Gently!”

(ok...this I just had to include cause it CRACKED ME UP!!!
That movie is FULL of great lines, isn't it???)
