Re: good quote (Reply to this comment)

WOW! Thanks! As usual, I'm thrilled and honored to make your list! Sorry not to have responded to this sooner, but I missed out on knowing that it had gotten commented on and just happened to be here getting the url for this to make a link elsewhere. I'll go back over and revisit your Maria story shortly. I think that this and other stories of yours might just help out another e-pal I'm helping a project that she's doing for her minister.
Hugs!

good quote (Reply to this comment)
by bobbo428
I enjoyed your quote
We could be taken away from here at the end of the present age (which could happen in the twinkling of an eye in the very next second or two or else happen sometime before we have had the chance to taste death--a year from now, a decade from now, 25 years from now, whenever). or One or both of us could die within the next 24 hours from either natural causes, being murdered, or being in some kind of accident. or One or both of us could grow up to be little old ladies and pass on in some way--and history might finish a day or two later, a generation or two later, or a number of centuries/millenniums after that.
It debuted on my weekly top 100 a month ago and should reach the top 40 soon. It is one of two quotes you have on my list (see my most recent comment on my Maria story, in response to your excellent comment of last December.)

Re: Come The Darkness And Then The Light (Reply to this comment)

Exactly!
And I, too, can't imagine a Rapture in the way that some people describe it with empty and occupied cars crashing into each other and a bunch of chaos.
But I believe in a transformation kind of Rapture and that there will, someday, be a final page written to the current age. When I don't know. I trust God's timing on that one...
As you said, though, now is the time to prepare and repent! We might not be the most "enlightened" people at this point, but we still need to aim high. The higher we aim when met with challenges here the more that will be revealed to us about Jesus!
Hugs!

Re: Neat! (Reply to this comment)

I believe that, even when it looks like Subway to us mortals, people are going Airmail all of the time and knowing that great joy of walking--make that running or even flying--towards the light of Jesus!!!!!!!
It's like the story about the ship leaving the shore and everybody waving goodbye, while, on another shore, people are calling, "Here she comes!"
Just as there are some things in life that are almost too horrible to imagine without being there (e.g. that mudslide that just covered an entire village in the Philippines and, of course, Katrina hitting the Gulf Coast), there are wonderful things in store for us in God's good timing that there is absolutely no way to imagine fully beyond getting small tastes of it from time to time.
Amen & Amen!
For now, though, I feel content here in Classroom Earth. For all of the nastiness that goes on, there's still tons of hope around us!
Today, I received the most wonderful e-mail and have used it to add to the decor of my profile page here.
Take a look at it, and you can see that God is still at work in the world today, bringing us such wonderful foretastes of Heaven that it's hard to imagine anything much better--but, yet, you know that it will be!
Hugs!

Come The Darkness And Then The Light (Reply to this comment)
by mustangrosie
Though, as a Catholic, I don't believe in the "Rapture", I do believe that Christ will be coming back and that, before He does, there will be a period of darkness and then an enlightening. The enlightening will show us all, every one of us, our souls as God sees them and will give us a chance to then, in all of our smallness, repent and totally convert to God. It is not wise to wait until the "Enlightenment". We need to get on it now.
Conversion is constantly ongoing and something we must work at just as constantly by praying, offering our days and our lives to God, treating others as Jesus would and loving others as ourselves is all very much a part of it.
Only God knows the day and the hour when this will happen and none of us can predict it, though there are signs, many of them, which point to it happening soon.
Soon to us and soon to God may be two entirely different things but we need to prepare our souls every day as if this were the day.

Thanks! And I have the feeling that I'm far from finished here. This series will connect indefinitely.
I think that when the time comes that I have fifteen writings in this series, I'm going to create a table-of-contents for it and place a link to it somewhere on my profile page along with other places.
It's marvelous what you can do with the Internet these days!
Blessings!

Jo, This was a great reminder to us of what is truly important in life.
Speaking of the Rapture, I've often said that I'd rather go Airmail than Subway!
But, until then, I'm content.
Thanks,
Lorace
