If I had a crystal ball, I would know who the next President of the United States was going to be before anyone else. I would know what kind of shape America will be in 4 years from now.
I would gaze into my crystal ball and be able to unravel the mysteries of the future like how my life will progress, whether I will ever get to go on vacation, and how many grandchildren I will be blessed with. Of course, looking in the crystal ball might tell me things I would rather not know like what disasters will befall my life and when I might die. Knowing such things might help me to prepare for the inevitable, or it might cause me to live in fear.
I think I would rather not know the future and let it play out as G0d intended. Too much information can be a bad thing. I would rather not worry. I would rather not live in anticipation for a given day. I would rather trust the L0rd with my fate and His direction for my life. Each new day is a gift. I would rather just live taking each day as it comes as if it was my last with a smile on my face and a song in my heart until next time when I give you another glimpse into the life of a trucker’s wife.
Yeah-- and those things never work. I'm here to tell you they are always cloudy with a chance of fog moving in. Geesh--they are such a rip. I'm with you. I'd rather not know...I like surprises!!
ReplyDeleteCheers, Jenn
Jenn, LOL isn't that the truth!!! I like surprises too. Like is one grand adventure. It wouldn't be as much if we knew what was coming. Thank you for stopping by to read and for your kind comments! ♥
DeleteI like your take on it. I am not even bothering to listen to the results tonight, they will be there in the morning. I voted and did my part.
ReplyDeleteRennata, I watched the results clear to the end. I missed the speeches, but I knew who had won when I went to bed. Thank you for stopping by to read and for your kind comments! ♥
DeleteI don't want to know the future either. That'd be weird. I would live in fear. It's bad enough I've been going thru a period of horrible anxiety. I don't need anything to compound it.
ReplyDeleteJoJo, if anything would make anxiety worse it would be knowing the future. Thank you for stopping by to read and for your kind comments! ♥
DeleteAh to know the future, thats a tuff one. It would be a great gift with yet a large burden. Thanks for your thoughtful post. Angelia @ http://dixielandcountry.com
ReplyDeleteTrauma, how very true. I don't know if the gift would be worth the burden. Thank you for stopping by to read and for your kind comments! ♥
DeleteI'd rather not know why some things happen either! Sometimes knowing too much causes more harm than good. Thanks for the insight in to the life of a trucker's wife too!
ReplyDeleteMichelle, I agree completely! Thank you for stopping by to read and for your kind comments! ♥
DeleteI really agree with you Kathy.
ReplyDeleteBetty, thank you for stopping in to read and for your kind comments! ♥
DeleteI'm with you. I don't ever want to know the future. If I knew I was going to lose a loved one, I would waste precious time being upset about what is to come when I could be enjoying love and life with him or her. Life is too precious to waste on worry and anxiety.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the topic!
Darlene, I agree completely!! Worry and anxiety takes away from the quality of life that we could be enjoying happily. Thank you for stopping by to read and for your kind comments! ♥
DeleteNo future gazing for this gal either! I'll take it as it comes.
ReplyDeleteWhy would anyone really want to know what tomorrow or next year will bring?
Interesting. I bet there are people who think they want to know.
as always...great take on the prompt and well done.
Jo, I am sure there are folks that would give their right hand to know, but what good does it do? Fate will take its course regardless. I would rather not worry about it. Thank you for stopping by to read and for your kind comments! ♥
