Today's the day that I type THE END on my manuscript. Finishing a project always feels good when I know I've done everything the way I was supposed to--given it my all--trusted God's direction. Finishing a book, a day of work, a race--it leaves us with a sense of achievement and completion. Finishing our time on earth should give us the same sense of accomplishment.
Several big name people died this week, along with a great many whose names were not so recognizable. As I saw the television flashing information about some of these folks, I couldn't help but wonder if they completed their life in the way they'd hoped. Had they trusted the Lord? Would they be remembered for things that would last? Would they stand before God and hear, "Well done," or would they spend eternity in regret.
None of us know how much time we have here on earth, so we need to make it count.
The end of a matter is better than its beginning...
Ecclesiastes 7:8a
I know that when my life ends here on earth, I'll be in the presence of the Lord and the end really will be better than the beginning. I pray the same happy ending for you.

Congratulations on completing your book Tracie. What a blessing to know you have completed the job you started. I know when all is said and done at the end of each day and that moment when we meet our Lord and Savior face to face, only what is done for Him is what counts. All the glitter this world has to offer is NOTHING in comparison to what our Loving HEavenly Father has ins tore for us. So this moment we strive to be walking in the steps He has for us knowing when we breathe our last breath here, we will have Eternity to embrace His presence. I'll take that any day to world wide fame that is fleeting! Blessings, Connie Sue

Woohoo! When you type The End, it's that much closer for the rest of us to read the beginning!
ReplyDeleteLoved your comments. The death of these icons sure puts things in perspective. I posted on it as well.
Yay!! Nothing like typing The End to make you want to celebrate--or at least clean your office. LOL. Congrats on getting another book completed.
