Some Days Never Come

“Someday we’ll take that cruise. . .”

“Someday I’ll have time to call and talk. . .”

“Someday, the children will understand why I was so busy. . .”

 But you know the truth, don’t you?  Some days never come.

Go to the effort.  Invest the time. Make the apology.  Take the trip. Do it.  The seized opportunity renders joy.  The neglected brings regret.

Remember Mary’s extravagance in pouring expensive perfume over Jesus’ head? And Jesus’ disciples criticizing her-  “Why waste that perfume? It could have been sold for a great deal of money and given to the poor.”

Don’t miss Jesus’ prompt defense of Mary in Matthew 26:10: “Why are you troubling this woman?  She did an excellent thing for me.”

Don’t miss Jesus’ message.  There’s a time to pour out your affections on one you love.

And when the time comes—seize it!
