A Time to Live and a Time to Die

For some moments in life there are no words.
~David Seltzer, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

My dear friends, it seems my husband's father is coming to the end of his days, perhaps hours. He was admitted to the hospital yesterday and the doctor has said he is in God's hands now. My husband's plane was just about to land, as he was coming home from working in Boston, when I received a call from his mother with this news. I was late picking him up and we had to wait another hour for his tool case to arrive as it did not make his flight. Now we are home scrambling in preparation of the ten hour trip by car with all our pets in the morning. The saddest part for me is that this is one soul, who seems to be still lost, who seems to have not yet embraced my Lord. I hope I am wrong, but like King David for his son, I am in mourning and prayer before his life ends, because once done, tis done.

~ My Lord, give him every opportunity to hear you. Talk to him in his dreams, my Lord, please. Show him the love and peace You have for him. ~
