Life is composed of stages and each stage involves putting aside one labor to take up another. From the time leave the nest and enter kindergarten continuing until we leave the careers for which we have been called to and educated for we are involved with saying goodbye. It's not always easy and the longer we do something, the more difficult it is to leave and enter the next stage. Paul, in leaving the Ephesian church, provides an excellent template for us to follow, as during his tenure there, he worked hard, set a good example and finished strong. We must focus our energies in doing the same and most importantly, pray that we will know when it is time to enter the next stage. |
