TOPIC: DON’T LEAVE ANY BLANK SPACE IN YOUR LIFE’S COLUMN!
For nearly 50 years, Ann Landers dispensed advice in a daily column carried by more than 1, 200 newspapers worldwide. When she died on June 22, 2002, her daughter, Margo Howard, wrote a farewell column. She asked the editors to leave A BLANK SPACE for the last part of the column as a memorial to her mom. The idea came from a column written years earlier when Ann and her husband divorced after a long marriage. Ann had requested the editors to leave a white space at the bottom as a memorial to a once-good marriage that didn’t make it to the finish line. Wow! Have you ever thought about the blanked spaces that will be left in your life’s column? When somebody writes your last column, how much “blank space” will it include? When you come to life’s end, will there be important things left undone? Will that white space bear a silent testimony to goals you never reached, good habits like consistent Bible reading you never formed, a constant prayer life you never mastered, help you never gave, kind things you thought about doing but never did? Or will it include forgiveness you NEVER released to a soul? Or will others be able to say of you that you, “finished the race, and kept the faith?” As you journey daily on planet earth, never leave undone what you are supposed to have done! Be like Apostle Paul who wrote: “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith” (Vs. 7 of our basic scripture). CLOSE WITH THIS: The most important thing in life is that you complete your mission! LEAVE NO BLANK SPACE! Pray seriously now! (To be continued tomorrow…)
