Do You Know?

Many people just don’t think about it.
Some people worry about it.
Other people have prepared for it.
But the question is…
Do you know?

There was a time when I didn’t know.
I lost sleep over it.
I worried every night.
I wanted to know.
I had gone through the motions… but still
I wasn’t sure.

I know some people today find it hard to know.

I want everyone to know.

Yesterday I needed to stop by the my wife’s pre-school for a short
garden clean up.  Dead flowers from the fall made this special garden
a little messy.

When I pulled up, Pat.  a woman that helps her friend Karen clean the school ran out
frantically motioning me to come into the building.
“Karen has passed out and was on the floor,” she told me.
We called 911…
She died…

I believe that Karen was ready…  I trust so… I hope she knew…
I hope she knew that her soul was safe in our creator’s hands.
I realized that I want everyone to know what they are missing by not having the God of creation in their life.  
I want all to know that about two thousand years ago - God put on earth clothes and came in the form of the person of Jesus.  He went around doing good.

Yep, that’s it.
Jesus loved people, fed the hungry, cried with the widows and healed the sick.  All those acts under the scrutiny of the religious leaders of the day.  He was a maverick and didn’t care what people thought.  Jesus didn’t always do what was right under the law, but he always did what was good.

So, do you think about it?
Do you worry about it?
Are you prepared for it?
Be the maverick in your world.  Step out of your comfort zone and follow the example of Jesus.

Death will knock on all of our doors someday.
So live your life doing good, follow Jesus and give your soul to Him and in the end, you will be prepared to meet the next level of our existence.

Please settle this in your heart today.

We will miss you Karen.
