It can happen at any time...
There is absolutely no way humanly possible to predict the future, well at least not with the accuracy that I'd like! This morning it seemed like today was going to be just like any other (well except that I wasn't feeling 100%, but you know what I mean). My project manager is 7 months pregnant - she was late this morning cause she wasn't feeling well - it turns out that she was in premature labour. Due to all the wonderful regulations that the government has instituted - occupational health and safely - I am the qualified First Aider (Level 1). Now I have also read some of the more advanced material (Level 3), but am not qualified yet, which is where delivering a baby is covered... So I'm joking with everyone in the office that it had better not be premature labour cause I'm not qualified to handle it... mean time it really is happening! She is now in the hospital and they are trying to stop the labour, but if they can't they will do a C-section because the baby is in breach.
While discussing this with one of my other colleagues, she preceded to tell me about her mother's miscarriage at 43, and her sisters death a short while after that. A very sad situation. Which makes me think and consider how fragile life really is, and how we don't know when the time will come for us to leave this earth. It impresses on me the need to know beyond a shadow of a doubt what will happen when I die - that I am in right relationship with God through my relationship with Jesus. Of this I am sure : that without that knowledge the whole situation looks even worse. Have you thought about this?
