Not Ready
Sometimes I will have a discussion with someone about getting older and they will inform me that God is not done with me yet. Events in my life have proven that true. Yes, God is not done with me yet. One of my tee shirts I wear has the logo printed on the front,
"Sometimes I look back on my life and I am seriously amazed I am still alive".
A couple of events in my life prove God is not done with me yet. Earlier in my life I would travel with my mother to go see my grandmother. She lived near Steubenville, Ohio. My mother would drive a hilly and twisty country road to get there. On one trip early in the morning as we were making our way to grandma's my mother fell asleep at the wheel. The car left the roadway went over an embankment, rolled 3 or 4 times until a tree stopped us. I was asleep at the time but was shaken awake by the tumbling.
We were able to get out of the car, climb the embankment to the edge of the road. My mom flagged the next car down to give us a ride into town.
Another event was when we were spending a couple of days with my aunt. She had a lot of bad luck in her life, she didn't make a lot of good life choices. She ended up being an alcoholic, married two or three times to alcoholic men. Never a good scene. Spending the night with her one night, I was sleeping on the couch in the living room. I was startled awake early one morning with glass bottles being thrown against the wall. Her husband came home drunk, he was upset because he couldn't find what he wanted. He came into the living room yelling and
screaming. Fortunately, my older cousin intervened and stopped him, but not before he drew a pistol and started firing it into the ceiling. My cousin wrestled the gun from him and held him on the ground until the police came.
Yep, over my life span, I discovered God is not done with me yet. I am sure you have had events in your life that have given you pause. Now that I am older I realize God really loves me. I have got more to do. God will tell me when it's time. Until then, I give credit
to God for all things. How about you? If you are here He is not done with you yet. Give thanks to God for each day and do sometime for him. That is the least you can do as a faithful follower.
Just a Thought, Not a Sermon!
