“Have you wept at anything during the past year?
Have you thought seriously about the fact that someday you are going to die?
More often than not, do you really listen when people are speaking to you, instead of just waiting for your turn to speak?
Is there anybody you know in whose place, if one of you had to suffer great pain, you would volunteer yourself?
If your answer to all or most of these questions is no, the chances are that you’re dead.”
Listen to Your Life by Frederick Buechner
We know that Jesus rose, the Apostles and Disciples of His time on earth did not, they prayed, they hoped, and they waited.
“Is there anybody you know in whose place, if one of you had to
suffer great pain, you would volunteer yourself?”
What are you praying for, hoping for and waiting for?
May God Be Praised.
Happy Easter, Deacon George!
