These things will happen

Friday November 2nd Mark 13: 28"Take a lesson from the fig tree. From the moment you notice its buds form, the merest hint of green, you know summer's just around the corner. 29And so it is with you. When you see all these things, you know he is at the door. 30Don't take this lightly. I'm not just saying this for some future generation, but for this one, too--these things will happen. Each of us must face an end time in our own lives. Each of us is called to live a life that is ready all the time. For those who spend their time looking for signs of the end times, they can find those signs in some way each and every day in the history of humanity. For those who live their lives bathed in the love and grace of the babe in Bethlehem, each day brings a new opportunity to live in, and show to others, God’s grace. Perhaps that is what the scriptures mean when they tell us to be ready.
