Today, I would like to write on the subject "Maybe the Last Time, You Don't Know." Years ago, in the church where I
was a member, we used to sing old songs, maybe the last time, I don't know. Well, think about it. You got up this
morning, viewed the beautiful sunrise, breathed in the fresh air, walked around your home, ate your breakfast,
kissed your children, wife, etc., and off to work you go. Maybe the last time, you don't know.
Some of us are sitting on our job, anticipating the trip back home to our families, and to enjoy a relaxing evening with
the wife, children, the dog, and to enjoy a well-prepared supper, and off to bed we go. Maybe the last time, you don't
know.
We have set a time aside for our vacation, we plan to go to Jamaica, or some other resort. We set aside the funds to
do so. We pack our bags, put them in the closet, just knowing that we will take them out, board an airplane or ship,
to relax from our daily routine. Maybe the last time, you don't know.
You may be an attorney, pilot, judge, schoolteacher, minister, social worker, actor, musician, mechanic, news
reporter, these are just a few occupations that we are educated for, yet, we may not make it to the office, we may not
be able to fly a plane, we may not be able to go to the classroom, we may not be able to go to the pulpit, we may not
be able to enter into the Social Services center, we may not be able to walk on the stage, we may not be able to play
a single note, we may not be able to report the news, I guess you say "What a gloomy writing." What I am saying is
that God is in charge of our lives, and we should praise Him for every second, every minute, every hour, every day,
every month, every year, while we have the chance to do so.
Some of us that got up this morning, will not return home, but will enter either into eternal life or eternal damnation.
Let us glorify our God, let us set our sights above the sins of this world, let us thank Jehovah Jirah, The Rose of
Sharon, The Lily of the Valley, The Bright and Morning Star. Maybe the last time, you don't know.
