One must always be prepared for life's little surprises, for both the happiness and the sadness waiting in the next room, beyond the next door. Each day people announce engagements, announce pregnancies, remember birthdays, remember anniversaries. Each day some people live, each day some people die. Each day we muddle through our lives, moving forward, moving toward goodness, holiness, kindness. Each day we offer prayers for ourselves, for our immediate families, our immediate friends. Each day some deals with depression, each day someone deals with loneliness, each day someone lives with despair.
One must always be prepared for life's little surprises, one must always be prepared to confront pain, to confront suffering, to confront loss with hope, with love, with God.
One must always be prepared to pray, be prepared to be asked to pray, be prepared to ask someone to pray.
One must always be prepared to share charity, humility, compassion, mercy.
As Christians we are invited, we are called to always share God's love, to alway show God's love.
We are always to be prepared for God's arrival, for God's work order. Each day we encounter people who need God. Each day we encounter people who want God.
