Don't Wait (until it is too late)
His basket of peppers spilled over and over...but he wanted to carry it,so we picked them up, over and over and finally, with exhausted triumphwe made it to the goal!!!
SO, whatever our load happens to be today, peppers or otherwise, keep on!
Don't give up in despair...
Love 's care is worth every tear, every prayerSomeday (it could be as soon as today!)We too with exhausted triumph will reach the goal!
Our community has suffered a number of remindersthis year of the uncertainty of what a day may hold!Don't wait to want what today still offers!!
***
Don’t wait to do the best you canTo love God first, then fellowmanTo give thanks to the One who grantsHis grace in every circumstance
Don’t wait to make the most of lifeBut, bury the hatchet of strifeBefore we meet The Righteous JudgeDon’t nurse the wounds of bitter grudge
Don’t harbor anger in your heartBut with each breath, let’s do our partBefore today is historyTo make a treasured memory
Don’t wait until it is too lateTo linger at the soldered gateOf a thousand longings untoldThy lips still smile, thy arms still hold
Life is a gift, its curtain closeOnly the Giver of it knowsThen do not wait to love, to prayTo wish for what God grants today
Take up love’s yoke of joy and griefPlead God to turn blind unbeliefTo faith, then trust love's nail-scarred HandWith all we do not understand
Then live as if today could beThe gateway to eternityLove God and fellowman, don't waitTill it is forever too late

2 Cor.6:1-2
As God’s fellow workers, then, we urge you not to receive God’s grace in vain. For He says:“In the time of favor I heard you,and in the day of salvation I helped you.”Behold, now is the time of favor; now is the day of salvation!
