Twelve days…

I am a short timer now, only twelve working days left for me!

And what an interesting day I had at work today…I found I’d been deleted out of the system and was no longer employed! Seems a tiny typo obliterated nearly an entire year of my career and it took all day to get it fixed. My boss entered my termination date as January 23, 2006, but somehow on the way through the chain of command to human resources it got changed to 2005. Oooops. In a heartbeat all my connection with my agency was gone, all my leave was wiped out and I wouldn’t have been able to use my key card in the morning to get into the building. Since I’m the only one who starts at 7…it would have been a chilly wait for my first co-worker to arrive! Everyone thought I took it all very well, and in the scheme of things this was nothing, a blip, a hiccup.

Considering eternity, we are all short timers here on earth. Our entire lives are just a tiny blip, a mere hiccup in the great expanse of time. But what we do while we are here DOES matter in the scheme of things! God has a plan for each of us and we have a finite amount of time to do the job He’s set before us. He wants all people, all nations to come to know Him and worship him. It’s our job to make Him known, to share our amazing, loving Father with everyone, whether that’s across the world or across the fence. That’s way more than a blip! It’s a giant tidal wave of joy that changes the world in a positive, wonderful way one person at a time. Time is short, better get busy!!
