Mark 6:8
He instructed them to take nothing for the journey but a walking stick – no food, no sack, no money in their belts.
-----------------------------------
If I knew it would be the last time that I'd see you fall asleep, I would tuck you in more tightly and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.
If I knew it would be the last time that I see you walk out the door, I would give you a hug and kiss and call you back for one more.
If I knew it would be the last time I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise, I would video tape each action and word, and play them back day after day.
If I knew it would be the last time, I could spare an extra minute or two to stop and say "I love you," instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.
If I knew it would be the last time I would be there to share your day, well I'm sure you'll have so many more, so I can let just this one slip away.
For surely there's always tomorrow to make up for an oversight, and we always get a second chance to make everything right. There will always be another day to say our "I love you's”. But just in case I might be wrong, and today is all I get, I'd like to say how much I love you and I hope we never forget.
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, and today may be the last chance you get to hold your loved one tight. So if you're waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today? For if tomorrow never comes, you'll surely regret the day that you didn't take that extra time for a smile, a hug, or a kiss and you were too busy to grant someone, what turned out to be their one last wish.
So hold your loved ones close today, and whisper in their ear, tell them how much you love them and that you'll always hold them dear. And if tomorrow never comes, you'll have no regrets about today.
Almighty Father, hide us and protect us in the very midst of any problem that could ever come against us. Take us in Your arms and cradle us with love. You are a great provider and always will be. We reach out unto You for You are always there for us. You have our trust, for trust is faith. And we firmly believe that You will never let us down, nor will You forsake us. Amen +
Listen, Lord, and answer me.
