FINISH LINE

Were you at church yesterday?

This is my mom on June 2, 2017, on her 98th Birthday.

My mom never liked to miss church.  It didn’t matter how she felt, she was there.  She sang in the choir, and took this commitment seriously.  She served to the Glory of God.  This Sunday mom once again was singing in the choir.  This time it was in the Heavenly choir.  And she didn’t miss, what the Bible calls, the fellowship of likeminded people.  The reunion must have been something to behold! First to be able to see Jesus, then her husband, daughters, parents, and even some grandchildren.  What a celebration! Jesus probably met her with a well done thy good and faithful servant.’ In the upcoming days, people will approach me and tell me my mother is in a better place.  I know that beyond a shadow of a doubt!  The question is, do they?

My mother’s going to heaven was not by chance.  She believed on the Lord Jesus Christ as her Saviour, and because of that, she had assurance of her home in heaven.  To some people that phrase, ‘a better place’, is lip service.  To those who know Jesus, it is a statement of fact.

My mother has just run the race of her life.  She finished her course, and she kept the faith!  None of this was done by accident, but rather by commitment and faith. And she crossed the FINISH LINE!!

As parents, we need to teach our children, to stay the course.  Just because things don’t go their way or run smoothly they need to persevere.  We need to be their examples, to live by faith, and teach them sometimes when they pray the answer will be no.  We won’t always understand why, but we will when we cross the finish line.

We as writers, will never write a masterpiece like the Bible. That is because it is the living WORD OF GOD.  But we can always do our best to leave behind a legacy of finishing our literary race.

I have fought the fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the LORD, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day; and not to me only, but unto all then also that love his appearing.

II Timothy 4: 7-8
