End of life musings...

Father, God, this morning as my bride and I were thinking about where life goes from here and as we faced the likelihood one of us will be called Home to be with You before the other, we started by reminding ourselves that this day...today is all we really have and must make the most of it.

On the other hand, we began asking You to give us insights on what to do if the Rapture does not come while we are both still here or if one of us is left behind.

Please give us the clarity of mind and preparation to manage any of the alternatives we face in the years ahead, because we pray with gratitude for what we have and have had together in the name of our advocate in heaven, Jesus Christ. Amen

Verse for Today: "For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven. A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant and a time to harvest. A time to kill and a time to heal. A time to tear down and a time to build up. A time to cry and a time to laugh. A time to grieve and a time to dance. A time to scatter stones and a time to gather stones. A time to embrace and a time to turn away. A time to search and a time to quit searching. A time to keep and a time to throw away. A time to tear and a time to mend. A time to be quiet and a time to speak. A time to love and a time to hate. A time for war and a time for peace. What do people really get for all their hard work? I have seen the burden God has placed on us all. Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God’s work from beginning to end." (Ecclesiastes 3:1-11)
