Separable Twins
Twins are suppose to be different, but Ron and Don were so much alike. Both were always involved in everything in school and both became successful in business. They were both blessed with miserable wives who raised the children Ron and Don never saw because they were too busy doing other things.
After all, Ron and Don had to support their families and they could not possibly turn down any of those speaking engagements they were offered. And they must go to those parties. There was no way either of them wanted to offend any of their clients.
Oh, Ron and Don would occasionally get to church and if something happened that prevented them from making it to their kids birthday parties, they would always make sure and stop by and get a nice gift to make everything right. The same was true for missed ball games and dance recitals. After all, they were both proud of their children.
Speaking of birthdays, Ron and Don recently celebrated their 37th birthday and took time to talk on the phone and wish each other a blessed event, for one of them always took a moment to call the other and wish him a happy birthday.
Recently, however, they agreed that it would be different when it came time to celebrate their 40th birthday. They would allow their wives to throw them a surprise birthday party which they would take the time to attend.
But tonight is different. Neither Ron or Don is running from here to there. They are together with family. Don sits quietly in a well upholstered chair with his head bowed while Ron lies in a casket not too far away. Don never expected this, and certainly did not expect it this soon.
As Don sits quietly with his head bowed and his hands folded together as if praying, he begins to think of all that he has missed in his 37 years and he vows that come tomorrow he will begin a life anew. But will he?
Six months from now will he still take time for God and family or will the memories of his brother have faded enough so that he can easily slip back into his busy lifestyle of before? Of course there is the possibility that Don could get back on track when he realizes that this year there is no one to call to wish happy birthday. ++++
How about you? Have you figured out what are the most important things in your life? And if you have, are they the same priorities God wants you to have?
