Interruptions

I remember that hot sunny day playing golf in Mississippi fives years a go. Debbie and I were on a links golf course just outside of Memphis having a great time. Debbie had just teed off on a par three hole and made a great shot. I was next. I was in the middle of my swing and my cell phone goes off. I got a lot of grass on that swing.

Interruptions happen daily in our lives. Sometimes they are tough to handle. Not prepared (much like the cell phone going off) for what is about to happen. Sometimes we have prepared knowing it will happen at some point in time.

Just this past Saturday an elderly lady, who was a gracious caregiver to so many in Osage City, was killed in a car accident. Interruptions can happen at any time. The family was devastated, as well as the community.

How do we prepare for interruptions?

By fixing our eyes on the Master each day. By giving him all of our troubles, sorrows and successes in life. By being prepared if this might be our last day on this earth.
