Make Time

I write this morning with a heavy and broken heart. Last night I learned that an older member from my church passed away during the week. While I knew she was sick, I still didn’t think it was “that bad.” However, my pain comes from the fact that my dad had visited with her about a month ago. While there he texted me saying that she had asked for me and said my mom and I should visit her. I said I would visit and had all intentions of going, but I never made it to her. It would either slip my mind or something else would come up. Now my chance is no longer there.

My message to you this morning is – “Make Time.”

We are all busy and sometimes life does get in the way. My best advice for that is, do what you have to as soon as possible. People are way more important than things. Yes, we need our jobs to pay bills and continue with our daily living, but what good is the job and its financial benefits if we aren’t able to embrace and enjoy those around us. As Jesus preached, He also made time to heal the sick and spend time with children. Even when His disciples tried to turn the mothers away and tell them that Jesus was too busy, He told them to, “Suffer the little children unto me.”

I don’t have my chance anymore to talk and joke with Leanna Miller; she has gone to sleep in Jesus. I do however, have many others to spend time with and so do you. Make time and take time to for those around you. Life is a gift to be used; unwrap the pretty paper and play.


Happy Sabbath.
