And besides, there is a great chasm separating us. No ne can cross over to you from here, and no none can cross over to us from there. - Luke 16:26
Yesterday, we ditched church. Does it really matter? I went downstairs to watch a little football. When my daughter called for help on a project, I continued watching football. Does it really matter? I rushed my girls to bed (partly because they needed sleep, partly because I wanted to go to Speedway for a 44 ouncer). Does it really matter? I just spent a whole Sunday trying to figure out how I was going to watch more football. Does it really matter? I stayed up late watching football even though I had to get up early for school the next day? Does it really matter?
Sometimes I forget that we are eternal! Sometimes I forget that the decisions we make, the actions we choose have eternal significance - not only for us, but for those around us. When we see good that we could do and don't do it - that matters! When we see someone in need and don't help - that matters! When we have the chance to put others in front of ourselves and don't - it matters.
This was a good reminder!
