At midnight the cry rang out: "Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!"…"Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour." Matthew 25:6 & 13
Since we do not know the day or the hour, are we ready to leave at a moment's notice? How attached are we to what we are doing here on earth?
I read about a nun who often felt annoyed when the bell in the convent rang because she had to immediately stop whatever she was doing and move on to the next activity set down for the day. This meant if she was writing she needed to stop not only in the middle of a sentence but in the middle of a word if necessary. The nun found this aggravating, (I must admit, so would I!) but it does point out that our earthly tasks are only temporary.
Sometimes what we are doing is so consuming that we can't even take a few hours off. Let alone imagining that we may be called to leave it permanently.
This life is not all there is and one day Jesus is coming back. Therefore it's wise not to cling to the things of this world however important they may be. God calls us to be wise stewards of all he gives us but he is also the Bridegroom who will return for his bride.
