I was really sick yesterday and a trip to the ER prevented me from my daily post. I was very dehydrated and my potassium was low. On my way home I saw the prettiest clouds, I knew I was sick when I could not muster the energy to pick up my my phone and take pictures, but had I still had those #protectingmypeace moments with my Poppa as I told Him how beautiful His clouds were. I pressed through work today and was even pressing through making dinner when I received a text that a dear co-worker had passed. I literally had to sit down. She was going to leave a hole in our journal club, but imagine the hole in the lives of her family. Just Friday she was encouraging me to feel better and now she’s gone. I immediately began to reflect on Ecclesiastes 3. To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven. A time to be born is so clear, but that time to die… we truly don’t know when it will come. If we did, would we love a little harder, hold those hugs a little longer? Would we not be so quick to shout words in anger, would be be quicker to say I’m sorry. Would we stop putting off today what we think we can do tomorrow because we understand tomorrow may never come? And what about your eternal salvation, it’s the most important question of all? If you die right now, would you go to heaven or hell? That question above all else matters! I urge you to search your heart this evening and to tell those you love you love them. Let that hug linger. Don’t let words go unsaid. Tomorrow just may never come. RIP ET 💛 ~ Chelle, #f8ithgal
