A Wake Up Call!!!

           

A Wake Up Call!!!   

      

Why is it that the most important things in life are also the ones we often leave more unattended and uncared for? Health, family and God are just a few things to be mentioned that may be squeezed somewhere in the back of our minds but don't rank very high on our schedule when it comes to very practical things like investing money and time into them.  When reality strikes and a reality check comes suddenly, we find ourselves flat on our backs looking up asking ourselves what have I done with my life?  Have I fulfilled that which I was born for?  How did I live the sum of my days and in what manner have I conducted myself now that it is all over?  
   

Then we look around and we want to see our mothers and fathers there around us, maybe our relatives and someone really good that will care enough to fervently pray on our behalf to God.  At the end of the day there is a horrible sense of regret, remorse and emotional torment simply because we think to ourselves  "What a waist of time! I should have...I could have spent more time with the people and in the things that count the most and are more important.  My friend, this is another inescapable fact that nobody wants to spend time thinking about.  


      
We will all be there someday flat on our backs.  We are all on our way there right now!  This is our wake up call!! Let's get ready now and get our priorities straight!   God's future in the renewed heavens and earth will be the expansion, the extension, the amplification and most importantly the redefinition of our current present day-to-day reality.  We are supposed to practice now faith, hope and love--the  habits of heart and mind that wll be ours for the rest of eternity.
