when the light is fading

"Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children; and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma. "
Ephesians 5:1-2


When the light is fading...
when the sun is setting fast
and autumn has come
there is a chill in the air that comes over you..
that calls to you
"hurry"
"make haste"
"waste not the moment"
like a whipser from God...
so much is this photo
like moments we have
before a loved one leaves us for eternity
there are often
if we listen
... promptings...
NOT always ...
but sometimes..
the whisper... "hurry" is there
the chill that comes with death, can remind us of an autumn evening..
running down our soul
like the wind might find its way down our back..
the whisper
"the light is fading... quick... capture the moment... say what needs saying"
like Cinderella,
we often feel a certain prompting;
one that says in our heart to us that
perhaps the carriage that holds our dear one's soul is about to turn into
a pumpkin...
and time is very much of the essence..
death...
it comes
sometimes
loudly
sometimes softly
sometimes
sudden & unexpected
other times
it is after a long and protracted illness...
but always
since sin entered this world...
it comes.
it never fails to come...
it is so faithful in its coming...
SO friends...
When the Spirit prompts you
to go
to be
to love
to share
to tell
to hold
to sit
to listen
to hug
to call
friend..
heed the prompting...
Be an "imitator of God"...
like the Word says!
 you will never
regret being HIS instrument
