When you are waiting for someone to come and they are late,
just get involved in something that makes it difficult for you to answer the
door, or at least not wanting to answer the door. That’s what I am doing now, getting myself
involved in writing a blog. I’m waiting
for the Tesco delivery which should have been here between nine and ten p.m.
and it’s now ten thirty. Of course I can
stop and answer the door. I suppose
really I ought to go to the toilet and then for sure the bell would go just as I
had reached that point of no return. Do
you shout and scream at the delivery man when this happens to you? I don’t.
After all it’s a pretty thankless task, on the minimum wage. There are so many pitfalls like diversions on
the country lanes where it is so difficult to find one’s way. I do know there is a hole in the road on our
chief lane. I expect that is the problem
tonight. When it gets to ten forty-five I will ring the office if I still don’t
have my delivery. Of course I won’t
starve. As my daughter would say, “You’ve
got a first world problem.” No I won’t starve. The last time this happened the
worst I did to the young man who delivered was to give him a small book about
Jesus, well it was close to Christmas. I
wonder what he did with it.
When we lose a loved one it is natural to wonder how they are faring in the next life. I would warn against going to a medium to find out. At worst these people are charlatans after your money, the rest misguided or worse. We are told in the Bible not to try to reach the dead. The best person to call on in this situation is Jesus. That's right, go to the top. He is always available through prayer and doesn't make a charge. All he requires is that you look for him with all your heart. He has the answers to all of life's difficult questions.
