Do It Today. Say It Today. Don’t Wait Till Tomorrow.

In the "New Covenant" made by our Creator God with humanity, as reported in Jeremiah 31:31-34, every human being can know God from within - because the Holy Spirit is revealing our Creator to all who are willing to know the Lord and trust in Him. We can still help each other along the way; so may you be pleased to find here a variety of helps to the life of faith in God through Jesus Christ. G.S.

Do It Today.  Say It Today.  Don’t Wait Till Tomorrow.

A Poem

Around the corner I have a friend, 

In this great city that has no end, 

Yet the days go by and weeks rush on, 

And before I know it, a year is gone. 

And I never see my old friend’s face, 

For life is a swift and terrible race, 

He knows I like him just as well, 

As in the days when I rang his bell. 

And he rang mine but we were younger then, 

And now we are busy, tired men. 

Tired of playing a foolish game, 

Tired of trying to make a name. 

"Tomorrow" I say! "I will call on Jim 

Just to show that I'm thinking of him." 

But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes, 

And distance between us grows and grows. 

Around the corner, yet miles away, 

"Here's a telegram sir," "Jim died today." 

And that's what we get and deserve in the end. 

Around the corner, a vanished friend. 

Reflection on the Poem

Remember to always say what you mean. 

If you love someone, tell them. 

Don't be afraid to express yourself. 

Reach out and tell someone what they mean to you. 

Because when you decide that it is the right time it might be too late. 

Seize the day. Never have regrets. 

And most importantly, 

stay close to your friends and family, 

for they have helped 

make you the person that you are today.
