TOMORROW MAY NEVER COME

Christmas is here...three more days!! Are all the presnets wrapped? Did I miss anyone? What about the food? What are we having for the family when they come over Christmas Eve? What are we taking Christmas day? Make a list...be sure not to miss something.

I have to think... whether we are ready or not - the day will come. It will happen!! Most of us are frazzled because we've waited far too long to get started. Seems like we are disconnected to the day on the calendar and all of a sudden, OMG, it's only a week away. Oh no!! Now it's three. We think we have time and suddenly time has run out.

Sad to say, for some this is how their eternity will play out. They go through the motions, doing so many things, making time for the things they want to do, putting off things they don't like to do. They think there's always tomorrow. But tomorrow doesn't always come. Recently a friend of mine lost a co-worker who was diagnosed with cancer suddenly and told she had less than a week. She was gone in six days. A couple of weeks ago I read where someone lost their 2 year old; another lost their 18 year old. Their tomorrows never came. Ours may not as well. This is it!! Make the most of it now. Spend time with your children. Tell your spouses how much they mean to you.

There is one more thing you need to do if you haven't done so already...meet Jesus TODAY. Tomorrow you may not be able to. It may never come for you and without Jesus, your existence will be darkness, pain and lonliness. Let Him come into your heart. Let Him forgive you for all the wrong you've done and let Him change your life. Let Him give you peace and hope. Let Him give you purpose and direction. We celebrate His birthday at Christmas. He humbled Himself to be born in a dirty manger. He later humbled Himself to take the weight of your sin and my sin so that we could live with Him in heaven. Of all the gifts you will unwrap in just a few days, He is the greatest gift you could receive. Give Him your heart. You'll be so glad you did!!

I was also interested to see that you are in NE FL. I'm in SE GA so we are practically neighbors! :) It's nice to find other believers out in the blogosphere!
Have a blessed day!
