return

Opening Prayer: Lord Jesus, help us to live each day as if it were our last.  Help us to stay awake and alert.  Help us to be always waiting and watchful for your return.  Come, Lord Jesus!  Amen.  

Scripture: Mark 13:32-37

Journal: What would it look like if you lived each day as if it were the day of Christ’s return?

Reflection:

     return

mark 13:32-37

when i return

what condition

will my house be in

will you be

running around

picking clothes

up off the floor

quickly trying

to do the dishes

or fix the broken

shutters

frantically stuffing things

into closets

and underneath

the beds

or will you be ready

for my return

because all along

you lived as if

today were the day

Prayer

Closing Prayer: “Be on your guard!  Be alert!  Watch!”  Lord Jesus, help me to do all of these today.  Amen.
