This morning, we were expecting to see the bathroom tile-layer around 9. Instead, we got a phone call. He wouldn’t be coming. He had died from a heart attack. The last thing I said to him on Saturday as he was cleaning up was “Thanks for everything you’re doing.” He would die that night. Several times today, I glanced at the unfinished bathroom and thought of him. I also thought of our unfinished bathroom. Not that it wasn’t going to get done, but the bigger picture it represented. The picture that would include all of our business we’d leave unfinished, if we died unexpectedly. I don’t know if you have unfinished business with a relationship? A promise? An impending commitment to Jesus? An apology? Today is the day to do everything. Yesterday can’t be repeated, tomorrow can’t be predicted. Today is the day. Today is the day to forgive. Today is the day to love. Today is the day to bless. Today is the day to know you know where you’re going if you don’t get tomorrow. Of course we’ll all have unfinished business when we die. But hopefully it’s only something small like unfinished tile. Today is the day. Today is YOUR day.

This is so true and it takes things to happen for us to understand that tomorrow just might not be promise to us and that the Lord can change all plans in a second. ……. Heather Thank you for this one and the picture is a great illustration to the text. …… But to bring it all full circle and no disrespect to his family or yours. …… now someone will have to finish the job that had been left behind and in life it is a circle and life has to continue for his family and your family. ……so I have learned nothing just happens in life it is all God’s plans and he will guide our steps and lead us even when we don’t think we can make it through the day or what should we do now. …….my deepest condolence go to the family and God bless you and your family AMEN
