When it’s over, it’s over..there is no start again….there is no make it right…when it’s all said and done..then that’s it…there is no more to do the things that you wished you would’ve done…life is a gentle breeze and life is a short but yet sweet flower…and our flowers blossom and they bloom…but as well the flower and the sweet bloom fades away…as it does for all of our lives…the word says that there are seasons in life…there is a time to be born and a time to die..to everything Solomon said there is purpose under the heavens..Ecclesiastes 3:1-2…so I know that for most we always think that there is another chance to say I’m sorry…there is another time to do them things that you would like to do…somehow in the back of a lot of people’s minds they consider that death or heartache isn’t or it won’t come their way in life…it won’t come their families way in life..but guys I tell ya..It does come..and when it comes it happens suddenly it seems..and happens quickly…and it happens to us all…I have been praying for a lady who is dying from cancer…that is the saddest thing ever…I have been praying for so many who is sick and in the hospital that are in need of a miracle..I pass wrecks almost daily out here over this road traveling and going about from state to state where people have lost their lives and lost them suddenly…I read in the paper of all that is taking place around the world..all of the heartache…all of the killings and shootings…bomb threats…suicides….I read last night of a mother who not only took her life but the life of her son…so life is not at all at times a pretty place…it isn’t all sweet and content for many…for when I look around and see and hear of all the tragic that is happening and taking place…I can’t help but thank the Lord for His hands of grace and mercy that He has given to me and my family…for when we consider others and what their facing…the things that we are going through aren’t really all that bad…for someone always has it worse off then you and I…but my whole point of any of this is that life is short…and time is always at hand for all of us..and that life doesn’t last forever…and that the bible says it is appointed unto us all that we die once in life…and after that it is judgment..Hebrews 9:27…so many say and seem to always says that only God can judge them and I say yes your right..and one day He is going to judge you and as well judge us all…each of us will give an account for our lives..the things we did to the things that we didn’t do…so today I pray you love your family and love them unconditionally…I pray you let go of bitterness…anger and resentment…I pray you hold fast to all them things that are good in life…and you cling to them…and daily cling to them…that you show compassion unto everyone…that you extend your hands out to anyone that may be in need…if it is in your power to do so…I pray you love all and not merely few…for in loving we are never more like our Father in whom is up in heaven….and that there is no division with you or anyone…if things aren’t right I pray you make them right..and that you stop and consider the big picture of life and not merely all of the petty stuff that happens and takes place…and that you always do your part…because each of our relationships is our work that we have to do…for we all can make time to do the things that we so desire to do in our lives…but if not we will make excuses…and there are always plenty of excuses that can be made…but my prayer is that none of us ever lose something in our lives only to have regret about something for the rest of our lives…for once it’s over..it’s over…you don’t get another chance…you don’t get a restart…once it’s finished it is finished…so make your life free with others…no matter what others has done…no matter what has happened…you yourself be free from it..and be content and be at peace…for life is a beautiful thing if we do what’s needed to be done to make it beautiful…for hatred stirs up strife…but love covers all sins…Proverbs 10:12…so let us be free…let us love…let us do our parts…and let us walk and live always in the light of the Lord…being His hands and being His feet…doing what we can…where were at…helping the ones in whom is there with us…we can’t do everything I understand but we all can do something..so let us rise..and let us all do something..and something great for Jesus…being that salt and being that light..Matthew 5:13-16…less of us dear Lord..and more, so very much more of you..I pray that, that is all of our prayers in our lives….In Jesus’ name..Amen and Amen…Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
