The Time In Between

Once a month, I'm assigned a day to visit all church members (or their immediate family members) who are hospitalized. Last Thursday was one of those days.

Some hospital visitation days are busier than others depending on the number of patients and hospitals to be visited. Some days are more memorable than others. Last Thursday was one of those days.

On Thursday morning, I visited and prayed with a lady who, barring a miracle, was basically waiting to die. She asked me to pray for "God's best intentions" for her. And I did. An hour or so later, I prayed for a two day old boy and his family. Within a couple of hours, I'd spent time with a family enjoying the beginning of new life and a family dealing with the end of life. And I was once again reminded that I'm living in the time in between.

If you're reading this post, you're living there too. The time in between. In between the beginning and the end.

Here's The Point: What are you doing with the time you've been given in between? Ephesians 5:15 and 16 remind us to be wise and make the most of every opportunity. That's how we should live in the time in between.
