You just don't know what the day may bring...

1 Peter 4:12
New King James Version (NKJV)

12 Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you;

Today started off in a bad way. I received a text that my friend's precious son was going back to the hospital again after a recent surgery he had and that he was listless. Then Amanda came out of her room to tell me that her friend was MISSING. Literally missing. Never made it home missing. She was to be flying out of town and even missed her flight. Lots of praying was taking place early and earnestly. Maybe we need to start our days like this more often, with a sense of urgency with our prayers. Yesterday, Amanda had learned that another friend was in a bad car accident on her way home from a trip. Bad things happen EVERY day. We need to be spiritually prepared ahead of time because it is just a matter of time until adversity hits. We shouldn't be surprised by the fiery trials but we need to be prepared. I won't stop telling people about Jesus and the salvation He offers until the day I die . EVERYONE needs to hear the good news. We never know what a day may bring. Tell the ones you love that you love them and if you don't know Jesus personally, ask Him to reveal Himself to you. If you DO know Jesus, tell someone else about Him. It's the most loving thing you can do.

2 Timothy 4:2
New King James Version (NKJV)
2 Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.

By the way, my friend's son is receiving IV fluids. Please keep him in prayer. The missing friend has been located and is fine. The friend in the bad car accident is ok. Thank You Jesus!!!
