Again we are reminded that we never know.
We should not live in paranoia, but take reasonable care for
safety no matter what we are doing. We
should live prepared to be able to live without guilt or regret. To know where to turn when what we have to
face is too much for mortal strength.
Sometimes things will happen in life for which there can be
no warning and no preparation. We do not
know when our life will end and we will be called before our Maker. We do not know when loved ones will be torn
from our lives. We do not know when our
lives might be seriously disrupted, things we take for granted shattered - health, wholeness, jobs, peace, - any aspect
of our lives - gone.
We should live in love, kindness, prayer and repentance
daily. We should try to prepare
ourselves for emergencies. We should strengthen
our faith to help us bear the unthinkable.
We should prepare our souls. We
should tell people we love them.
We complacently live our lives thinking that we have forever
or least a bit more time to work things out, to get ready for emergencies, to
put our lives in order. The Scouts are right, we need to strive to BE
PREPARED.
