No One Knows
My grandma was in the nursing
home under hospice care and on more than one occasion the family gathered to
say our last goodbyes. I had to laugh at our presumption when the next day
grandma would rally around and have a pretty good day. My brother-in-law is now
in a nursing home under hospice care and doing something similar. On Monday he
was bedridden, unresponsive and unable to eat or drink. On Tuesday he woke up,
decided he should get up, take a shower, sit in a wheel chair and drink a glass
of milk. “Since no man knows the future, who can tell him what is to come? No man has power over the wind to contain it, so no one has power over
the day of his death” (Ecc8:7-8a NIV).

-----The struggle to stay alive sometimes baffles me. We seem to dump no end of effort into it at the time of life that is certainly the bearer of its end. Then of course, for those who know the Lord, that end is really a beginning.
Love you all,
Steve Corey
