Wait Until It's Too Late?

Farmers who wait for perfect weather never plant.
    If they watch every cloud, they never harvest.
Ecclesiastes 11:4 
 
October-November was a rough time.  I officiated 3 funerals of people I had gotten to know.  While this was difficult and took a lot to be able to process, I couldn't help but remember one phrase I heard over and over: "I wish I could've told them..."  
 
We tend to take for granted that we will have more time.  We tend to not think about the gravity of our choice to hold on to grudges with people we love deep down but we disagree with for the moment.  God NEVER promises us even our next breath! So who are we to think we will have more time?
 
Think about this: If farmers waited until the rain actually started falling before they planted their crops...do you think the crop would yield in abundance? Consider this Rule of thumb:  NEVER let an opportunity pass to let others know that you love them, respect them, are glad they are part of your life!  Start RIGHT NOW!!
