That moment came all too quickly with a phone call around five o'clock
in February, 2007 and it was to be one that would forever change our
lives. My Dad died that early morning of a heart attack. He was well
to the end of his life. To say the least, it was a shock to our natural
senses and yet not a surprise as the Lord had been preparing me for
seven years. How like God to gently,ever gently prepare His children
for what would soon occur.
Relationships can change in moments and this is why it is so very
important to love as Christ loved. We do not know what tomorrow
holds. Christ holds our future and we need to be ready at all times
to meet our maker. If you have difficulty with your love walk it is
time to make it right with those around you and not put it on hold.
I am ever grateful to God that I had a loving relationship with my
Dad and no regrets. If you have any things you have yet to take care
of do not wait. Let the Lord help you to reconcile the differences.
A phone call, a letter, a sit down together and a willingness to be
the first one to say sorry can make a big difference.
Do not put off till tomorrow what you can do today. Your words can
make the difference.
