JUST IN TIME
By John Kerr

            My garbage pick up is Thursday every week.  They come any time from 10:30 A.M. to 1:30 P.M.  The instructions they gave us are to set the garbage container within three feet of the road with the handle pointed in the right direction so they can pick it up and dump it with their hydraulic machine.  We are supposed to set it out at midnight Wednesday.  I usually take it out about 6:00 Thursday morning.  This week when I took it out Thursday morning at six o’clock I noticed flashing lights in front of my neighbors house.  Sure enough it was the garbage truck.  I got to the end of my driveway just when he did.  The connection was made.  He rolled his window down and informed me that he was early due to the snow.  He planned to collect on the main roads while it was still dark and the side roads in daylight.  I came as close as I could to missing without missing this week’s pick up

            Luke 12:42The Lord answered, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master puts in charge of his servants to give them their food allowance at the proper time? 43It will be good for that servant whom the master finds doing so when he returns. 44Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions. 45But suppose the servant says to himself, ‘My master is taking a long time in coming,’ and he then begins to beat the other servants, both men and women, and to eat and drink and get drunk. 46The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of. He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the unbelievers. 47“The servant who knows the master’s will and does not get ready or does not do what the master wants will be beaten with many blows. 48But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.

            Missing the garbage truck is small potatoes.  Not being prepared to meet the Savior is quite another matter.  It has eternal consequences.  That is why we live ready.

HUZZAH - used to express approval or delight, similar to hurrah.
