A bucket list. Do you have one? Everyone who wants a heart filled with hope needs a bucket list. Its a list of things you would like to do, things you would like to see, and places you would like to go in this life. A couple of years ago my wife and I took a weeks vacation in Hawaii and we went horseback riding through an inactive volcano. It was an incredible experience that we thoroughly enjoyed. It had been on our personal bucket list for years.
Being told that you have a disease that is incurable can really take the wind out of your sales. It can make you want to close the windows, pull the curtains and crawl under the sheets. It will make you stop thinking about the future if you let it, so don't let it.
Don't let yourself get so focused on the pain of the now that you no longer see the joy of the future. Jeremiah 29:11 tells me clearly that God knows the plans he has for my life so if we are still here then God still has a plan and that involves a future.
So start thinking about a bucket list. This will make you focus on your future and that is the beginning of hope, and hope can be a powerful force that will help us battle a powerful disease.
