My neighbour, aged 72, walked into her garage on Saturday morning, to go to the shopping mall, as spruce as usual, but did not start the car or come out of the garage for about 15 minutes, after which she re-appeared, bewildered, confused, seemingly dazed, not knowing where she was going or why...
A stroke.....
No time to think... or consider whether she was ready for such a big upheavel in her life... no time for last minute decisions, or arrangments in case of a mishap...
living alone as her husband passed away just over a year ago... and although seemingly okay, she now has the disconcerting habit of not wanting to let go of the keys to her car, or house...some of them are bent, as if she keeps trying to lock and unlock inappropriate locks and doors ...
Is she trying, subconsciously, to unlock a part of her brain that seems locked away to her?
Am I ready for something like this?
Are you?
Can we ever be ready physically to accept such sudden changes?
What about spiritually? Are we ready?
Is there something we need to discuss with God before such a happening?
"While it is said, Today if ye hear His voice, harden not your hearts, as in the
provocation" Hebrews 3:15
Thank You, Lord, that we have this very minute to reconcile with You, to discuss and confess, and ask for forgiveness where required. Help us to not postpone the most important issues and decisions of our lives.
