Endurance!

 Endurance 

“But the one who endures to the end will be saved.” 
(Matthew 24 vs. 13) 

            “Endure to the end.” I am not sure what that means because to me there is no end! June and I have spent time in twelve step programs and as Stephen ministers working with people with life issues. Some fight chemical demons, some mental issues and others with social issues. Often we dealt with anger, depression and the “why me” syndrome. Asking the question “What did I do to deserve this?” is of no use to the recovery process. Dealing with the steps of growth to become happy and satisfied citizens is what matters.

            We are all here in a very interesting lifetime and do not know where it leads us. That is the wondrous mystery. What we do know is that while we are here on earth we will leave a mark; a legacy.

                        We Christians are told on Sunday and celebrate on Easter that there is no end; a mystery to others. What is not a mystery is that we will leave our mark in the memories of others; we will leave a positive legacy through our faith spirit and love of Christ. 

Thought for Today: For today let us go out and live our Christian lives full of enthusiasm and joy. Let us live like there is no end! 

 Prayer for Today: Heavenly Father, today we give thanks for our wondrous lives and the many gifts that you have given us. We especially thank you for the opportunity through Christ to help accomplish your will here on earth through our faith by sharing with others.

Amen
