Be Prepared
This morning I find myself busily preparing myself to go visit my tax professional to help me file my taxes. I am looking for records, gathering needed statements, and making certain that I have all of the bases covered for any possible question. As I prepare for this meeting, I have to ask myself if I am prepared for other meetings that I may encounter today.
Each day we meet people expectantly and unexpectantly. Each of these individuals have concerns in their lives and may need a word of encouragement, a hug, or just a smile. I am prepared for these meetings? Have I taken the time today to simply ask the Lord to help me to slow down long enough to hear his “still small voice” so that I can be sensitive enough to say that word, give that hug or smile?
Let’s all make sure we are prepared today. You never know who you will meet.
God bless,
Pastor Gary
