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
