Cats in the cradle

This song has always spoken to me.  We tend to think, nothing will change.  No matter what stage of life we are in.  But guess what? Change happens 24/7. someday you can look around and see some things differently. Like, we could have  let some stuff go by the wayside... to spend more time with our kids. We can't spend too much quality time with them. They learn from us. they learn to love, they learn about God thru us. They learn about making choices and about making time.  And they can also grow up to be exactly like us. If we can be an example of Jesus and his love and forgiveness.  They will learn how to love and forgive others.

This song goes back to the 50'sand 60's but it still has a age old lesson.  Make time for what matters.

Camp Meeting Preparation

Preparation

Joh 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

Every Year, We go to our annual Camp meeting in Portland. I have gained a reputation for preparing our suitcases several weeks ahead. My husband gets frustrated when it gets down to the last week or two before we go He can’t find items that are usually in the bathroom or closet. Why do I do this? I am so excited to go. All my thoughts, everything I do is focused on being prepared. I can hardly think of anything else. I am so excited about going. Everywhere, I have lists , so I don’t forget one thing.

I am excited about being ready for my Saviour. He has prepared a place for me. I know that it will be well planned. It will be more than I can imagine. I want to prepare to be ready when He calls me.

To prepare is to make ready: to make something ready for use or action, or for a particular event or purpose. I want to prepare myself to be watching and waiting for His soon return. I know when camp meeting will be and I know when I will be leaving. Knowing this makes it easy for me.

In Mat 25:13 tells us Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

I don’t know the day or hour when Jesus will return. I need to make sure first that my preparations are made ahead of time. I want to know my sins have been forgiven. I need to be walking daily with the Lord .

I am excited to be going to camp. I am more excited about going to Heaven. I want to be well-prepared!
