I met a woman the other day. She was seated at the Body shop waiting for her car to be completed. All the counter folks were busy, I smiled and she said, “Do I know you”? I told her that I was man of God and that I smile and greet everyone. She said that I greeted her as if I knew her. I said that I love everyone and hoped she had a wonderful day. The conversation ended as the counter people said, “next”.

Yesterday while checking out at the dollar store, I saw a funeral notice on the counter for this weekend, Resurrection Sunday weekend. It was the same lady I met several days ago. I was surprised and remembered her unwillingness to share a good moment and was suddenly sorry for her and her family. We never know when our time is come. We never know when God is going to offer our last breath. Every moment counts.

Folks please don’t waste the moments you’ve been given. Go to God in Christ Jesus and ask for direction, power, purpose and protection to complete the objectives for which He sent you to Earth. All of our time is short, yet we offer flippant words, take life for granted and fail to be content in all that we have been given. Look I may be a goofy faced Pastor of Christ offering smiles to all I meet and an encouraging Word to them that want one, but that is the reason I am here. What’s your reason?
