There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:
2 a time to be born and a time to die, Eccl. 3:1-2
Depending on the translation Jesus stated 10-11x in the Gospels that " I have come...." and it got me to thinking.....why am I here? Surely you could reduce it to ....cause my parents....I was a mistake....I was the miracle child.....I am the only.....whatever you frame it with....God has a reason for allowing you to be born. I know..." for such a time as this......" really Ray. REALLY!!!!!
Of all of the failed pregnancies, sudden infant death syndrome, and unfortunate abortions you were born. You made it.....but why? You live in..........or work at...................you are married to.........your kids names are..................and why again? Tonight was Halloween, and some of not many Christians struggle with participating in the Holy Day ( I said Holyday because Satan hasn't been able to create one day, and if God is the creator of each day, we can make it a Holiday or a HolyDay....its all about how we approach it....I finally chose to rejoice and be glad in October 31st) because as an adult....I have cowered into my basement, with the lights out, and took my kids out of the limelight of this celebration of_________________________(what.....demons, darkness, ghosts and goblins, etc) to protect them from what???? They are little cities on a hill...who can hide that......???
NO...I'm not giving Satan, not one of God's days!!! I went out and bought some hot dogs (for the kids) and Rib Tips (for the adults) and pulled my Smoker out and decided to meat the neighborhood, and I believe I met almost the entire neighborhood!!!! One person said..."Why are you doing this?" "Another person said...if your goal was to make an impact.....you did!" My point to this is, not what I did, but rather what are you doing...with your life? If at any moment you can check out of here....will it have mattered? Will the 9mos of labor, sacrifice, and investment....matter to_________________________? I'm not Jesus, but rather I am a follower of Jesus with mosaic life that I want to matter.....when my name is remembered I want people to associate my life with Love & Light. Even once the casket is closed and the hole is covered....I want the rays of both to pierce through the wood & dirt and be carried onto another generation. In the midst of all that happened tonight, Irreplaceable Impact was established.....and to GOD BE THE GLORY! ALWAYS LGLP
