First we started our last senior year with our daughters. Abigail is in her Senior year and she is our youngest. Then we started her last Volleyball season of High School. She played her last home game and her last game of the regular season. Then we began our last post season of HS volleyball. And now we have finished our last district volleyball tournament.Abby was blessed to be part of a conference champion team and they took first place in their district. All of these are fun things, but they are also marking a long line of lasts.
I always try to imagine how Jesus must have felt when he was going though all of the things in His human life that was his list of lasts. I can not imagine how that he spent any time thinking that they were sad things. The lasts that we are facing have sad parts mixed in with the good parts and the miles stones that we are seeing.
The lasts that Jesus faced were all leading to his being reunited with the Father. What joyful moments those must have been as he anticipated going to be with the Father.
So as I go through my lasts in this season of my life, I am compelled to count it all joy for God is just working me into a new season where I will continue to be conformed into the image of Christ.
