Bathed in love

Friday December 5th, 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. 29 And so it is with you. When you see all these things, you know he is at the door. 30 Don'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 will face an end time in our 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, they can find those them in one way or another each and every day in the history of humanity, and will continue to find them as events unfold before us generation upon generation. 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.
