Visiting Day |
|
|
He was looking
forward to this moment all day long, |
|
after 6 days of
labor and it finally arrived - |
|
Visiting Day! |
|
 |
|
The man with the
keys arrived to swing open the large, heavy doors. |
|
The cold gray hall
springs to life in the warm glow of light. |
|
He could hardly
control his emotions. |
|
 |
|
The families began
to arrive. |
|
He peers from the
corner of the room |
|
longing for
the 1st glimpse of his loved ones. |
|
He lives for the
weekends. |
|
He lives for
these visits. |
|
|
|
As the cars arrive,
he watches intently. |
| Then, finally, they
arrive, |
| for
whom he
would do
anything. |
| They embrace, at a
light lunch and reminisce how things used to be. |
| At one point, they
break into singing, |
| with
interruptions of
laughter and applause. |
|
|
|
But all too soon it
is over. |
| A tear comes to his
eyes as they depart. |
| Then the men with
the keys close the heavy doors. |
| He hears the key
turn in the lock marking the end of a special day. |
|
|
|
There he stands,
alone again. |
| He knows that most
of his visitors will not contact him again till next week. |
| As the last car
pulls away from the parking lot, |
| Jesus retreats into
loneliness as He waits until next Sunday |
| - Visiting Day. |

DISTANCE BETWEEN A PROBLEM AND A SOLUTION IS THE DISTANCE
FROM YOUR KNEES TO THE FLOOR.....THE ONE WHO KNEELS
TO THE LORD CAN STAND UP TO
ANYTHING |
