Scripture: Hebrews 9:28

So, Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will

appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who

are waiting for him.

 

Words of Not Much Wisdom

 

I totally spaced that today is Friday, and that Susie needs my “. . . Wisdom”

It’s been a strange week, full of the Memorial holiday, overnight guests, and a

small case of Covid. Not any good excuses, but as usual, it is easy to get distracted

from the things I should be doing by the things that seem to be making the most noise.

I’m fine, just feel like I have a bad cold, and need a cup of tea. Be back to church on

June 11th. Five days of quarantine, or as a friend described it, “five days of imposed

naps and reading.” I’m also water flowers and washing the kitchen curtains.

Waiting does not mean being without activity, but it does mean making good choices about

activities in which to be employed. It’s a time to separate the noise from

the music.

I think in part, that is what the scripture is about. We are called to wait for the Lord to

return. We don’t have any particulars on the time, we are told to just wait. But still, we are

to be employed in the business of faithfulness to Jesus Christ. We are called to help

our family, friends and neighbors separate the noise from the music that they may hear

the love and grace of Jesus Christ. And that my friend, is worth waiting for.

See you in Church
