JFF - Which Would Scare You Most???

For me...the ghost of x mas future scares me the most.

I am GLAD however, that I have NOT had a glimpse of my future...

IF I did, I am sure I would NOT have had the courage to 'press' on.

My daughter, shannon, as an example. If someone had TOLD me as she was being born, that it would take over 3 years to bring her home from the hospital...I would NOT have her here in my life now. I would have been afraid of the risks...the time...the struggle.

But WITH the risks...hardships...and heartache...have come so VERY MANY JOYS...and lessons.

It has been that way with many hardships in my life. I would rather NOT know...and learn and receive blessings as I go.

maybe I am silly...but it is true!!

best!

Future b/c I am very scared that I might not be here...

Future. It would be hard to live with the knowledge.
Very scary.

I'm thinking I would not like the ghost of Christmas past. I hate regrets.

If I had seen the future 4 yrs ago, I would have not wanted to go through it.
So I am once bitten, twice shy, on that one.

The present is made today. I might get some insight on the future, while I can still change it.

Future for sure. I already know my past and present. What if I saw something horrible in my future? I would live my life with total anxiety.

Honestly, I'm not really "scared" of any of them.

My past was hard, but it grew me into the person I am today. Plus, it seem a bit silly to be scared of something that already happened.

The person I am right now tends to make the best of any situation, and I like to think I am a decent person, so nothing to be scared of in the present.

As for the future, it is uncertain.. But that gives me more hope than fear. Especially as my family is taking steps now to make our future as bright as possible. I suppose that the only part that would be scary is learning about people I may lose... Or What he world events would be. It would terrify me to learn, for instance, that I had lost my family to a terrorist action or my child was taken in a shooting. To imagine celebrating Christmas without them is what scares me. (And breaks my heart for families who HAVE lost loved ones.)

I suppose the future is always the scariest.
When ever we contemplate that someday we will die and not be here anymore we get a sense of our own mortality and it just smacks us upside the head with dread.
