I get discouraged to see all around me returning to the cultural norms and I feel very much alone in my hopes and thinking… so then I begin thinking perhaps I’m not seeing things clearly. Am I being too heavenly minded to expect, as followers of Christ, redeemed by His blood, sins removed, empowered by the Holy Spirit, that we leave ‘the empty way of life handed down to us from our ancestors’ asking Him to teach us to live anew?
Am I unrealistic to expect and long for His leading in ALL of life?
Better to be “unrealistic” and faithful than “realistic” and lost. Following Christ is more important than everything else combined - easily. Stay the course. God bless!

Thank you- this helped me so much today. And I loved the LOTR reference. Mundane tasks are eternally significant in light of the resurrection.
