Questions

A woman I know has suddenly become confused mentally.  There are many questions ... Was it really sudden?  Was it related to her back pain?  Was it a reaction to medication?  If so, will it resolve?  Is it related to depression?  Will it get better?  She is only 70 years old, which is technically "elderly" but doesn't seem that old.  She can't live alone.  It feels as if she was suddenly diagnosed with a fatal illness and is dying.

This morning, I read verses about how this treasure (the glory of God) is held in jars of clay (us) and how we are to fix our eyes not on what is seen but on what is unseen (2 Cor. 4).  If we could live our lives with heaven in our hearts, life wouldn't be so hard and sad sometimes.  How do you fix your eyes on what you can't see?
