Repost from Aug 8, 2010 Cindy's World:
"You better get ready, I'm coming home!" Those were the words I heard on the phone a few minutes ago from Kote!!
Next was, "I got money for my birthday, so I'll be buying my own stuff now!! Wait!! I want to buy a phone, but YOU can keep buying the rest of my stuff!!" 😎
He is hilarious.
But it did trigger a few thoughts about my life. How often, when things are going good, do I want to tell God that I can handle it now? Just as quickly, I want to put those words right back in my mouth. I can have nothing nor do nothing without Him!! I learned that lesson the hard way...and, because I am mule-headed, more than once!
While only God knows when I will be heading toward Heaven, I think of loved ones already there: my son... parents ... grandparents... a miscarried grandchild. I wonder who else is waiting on me? Most important --- my Savior!! Without Him, there is no way I would get there on my own.
I may not know the day or the hour, but I want to look toward Heaven and joyfully shout......................... ..................
"YOU BETTER GET READY, I'M COMING HOME!!!"
