closing words, & deeds

2 Timothy 4:5
You should keep a clear mind in every situation.
Don't be afraid of suffering for the Lord.
Work at bringing others to Christ.
Complete the ministry God has for you.


Closing words from Paul to his friend, brother, & son. We don't know if Timothy "made it before winter" & saw his friend & spiritual father. These could have been Paul's last words to him.

What would you say to the people you love if you had been Paul?

A dear, sweet friend of mine was killed Saturday in a car accident. We had her funeral yesterday - a celebration of a life well lived for Jesus.

But we never know when we'll be snatched away - life is a very fragile & transitory thing.

If it needs to be said, say it.

If it needs to be done, do it.

Don't put off for tomorrow what needs to be said & done with the people more important to us.
