One Day...

Have you ever found yourself saying “One day…”?  What was at the end of your thought?  Or are you like me and you have many endings to that thought?  Mine becomes a list.

One Day….
- I’ll find a man that wants to marry me and I want to marry.
- I’ll adopt my “rainbow tribe” of kids!
- I will feel free in this life.
- I will travel to new countries around the globe.
- I will find a church where I feel like I fit.
- I will simply feel like I belong somewhere.
- I won’t be stuck in a body that hates me and makes me feel old and hurt.
- I will not be afraid to let people see the real me – I am not happy about
   everything all of the time – and I shouldn't have to act like I am.

Then I remember that never will everything feel perfect in the world thanks to sin entering a few thousand years ago.  And my heart will always feel lonely because I was created to be in constant communion with God.

And I can be thankful that One Day...
- Jesus will make the wrong things right.
- I will see Jesus face to face and none (or at least almost none) of these will be of
   any importance.
