As we go through our lives we have something nagging at us that we know we should do but never seem to have “time” for and then when we do find the “time” there is devasting news. That happened to me yesterday and this is not being shared for anyone to feel sorry for me. Because there is no need for that stuff. The woman has a terminal illness and they don’t give her much time. She was the love of my late father’s life, and I am grateful beyond words. Sure when I was told about it I “beat” myself over it as to why I hadn’t reached out sooner. Then again I was letting my personal emotional feelings stand in the way of what I know is true.
“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.”
(Ecclesiastes 3:1, NIV)
In verses 2-8, King Solomon presents multiple pairs of juxtaposing seasons. For instance:
“a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,”
(Ecclesiastes 3:4, NIV)
We will ever speak again? I have no idea. Will she spend eternity with Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for that one I have no doubt.
So if you find yourself in a similar situation reach out because that very well may be God working in both of your lives which I know this to be true.
