It is interestingm Jan to hold both kinds of time in our hearts and see what they reveal. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment.

A lot has been accomplished in our home that would not have been if we weren’t under pandemic restrictions. But I must admit that as the “Chronological” time drags on without answers, I do become weary of that and the continued negative news.
Thank you for the answer to put my eyes on God’s time, look to see what He is accomplishing, and give Him thanks. That always lifts my soul.

Blessings,
Janis

WE do need both, not either or when it comes with time I am playing with time today as I try to get some tiny left over details done so I can enjoy this afternoon free of the to do list. So more chronos time for me today but God is ever present guiding me, loving me and as always forgiving me. Love you, Martha!!

It is hard though not seeing and being with grandkids and now with more cases I am beginning to realize just how long this pandemic will go on. God is with us and I know will see us through!

Isn’t that a great question? I am finding more and more the wisdom in pausing and asking myself if I am asking the right question or if there is more lessons in a variation of what I am seeking,

I certainly agree with you on these two things that emerged over this strange weird time, especially re gratitude. Focuying on what I do have rather than what I have “lost” gives me hope and perspective, Be well too

Focusing more on God than my circumstances is a continual struggle but only way to find peace and true guidance, isn’t it?

Our own plans have proven to easily fall flat, go up in smoke, vanish like the wind.

Praise God He never changes!

Two things have been emerging for me over past months in Kairos time: neighbors and gratitude. I’ve been thinking deeply about the meaning of these in my life, and I appreciate your putting my pondering into useful context.
Be well!

Thanks, Jean!

I find myself thinking these days about what we’re losing–like weeks of no contact with grandchildren! I need to be thinking instead of what God would have me gain or what he’d have me give to others. For example, I am currently able to spend more time on social media and be a voice of encouragement; I can give detailed feedback to an author working on a novel. Kairos time offers possibilities of divine purpose not achievable under the constraints of chronos time. Thank you for a transformed perspective, Jean!

Either we see with our eyes (watching a clock) and/or we see with our spiritual eyes (insights into what God is doing through His Word). We may not understand what He’s doing but we trust Him. Thank you Jean, for all your insights. I love receiving your posts.

We do need both aspects of time, with Kairos being our ultimate, the one in which we see opportunity and reflection amidst the mere passing of time. May we all be more aware of the ways in which God is asking us to grow and mature in times of difficulty.
Blessings!
