e·ter·ni·ty /əˈtərnədē/ noun
Have you ever truly thought about what eternity actually is? If you haven't, I strongly encourage you to sit down and really dig deep and try to fathom the crazy idea that is eternity. Look at this picture. The line on the left is eternity. That line doesn't end---Eternity does NOT end. That line will never come to an end no matter how many times we go around it. Now, look at the tiny dot on the right. That dot is you. That one minuscule dot is your lifetime here on Earth. It ends. Now, compare the two. That dot does not even come close to the never ending line. That tiny dot- your life - is nothing compared to eternity. LIFE ON EARTH HAS AN END. EVERYTHING ON EARTH HAS AN END. ETERNITY IS NEVER ENDING. IT. IS. FOREVER. A wise man once told me a story about a professor who illustrated eternity. The professor walked to the front of the lecture hall, chalk in hand, and drew a dot so tiny that it could not be seen. "This is you. This dot is your entire lifetime here on Earth." He began to walk around the room, first writing on the chalk board and then moving to the wall. He was drawing a line-- a line that represented eternity. "This is eternity. This is what we are working for." Once he had run out of room in the classroom, he walked down the hallway, and out of the building- still continuing the line. It is just another awesome representation of what eternity truly means. Eternity is never ending. NEVER ENDING. The idea of eternity is so unbelievably difficult to fathom. Think about it for a little while. Dig deep. You can't even begin to imagine what it will be like. There is no time-There is no end. Wow.... Eternity is forever. Our lives on this Earth are nothing. Our time here is nothing. What we do here while we are on earth to prepare for our eternity is what matters. Our FOREVER is on the line. What are you doing to prepare? Why is it so easy for us to make last minute plans to go shopping, go to the beach, or go to the movies, but we can't seem to make it to church on time? Where are our priorities? What are YOU doing to prepare for eternity? Where are your priorities? Are you worried about the worldly things that you are surrounded by? Are you preparing for eternity? Where are you?? I hope and pray that you are preparing for eternity. I want nothing more than to see you in Heaven. I want YOU to spend ETERNITY with GOD. I WANT YOU TO BE THERE. Love and Blessings, Kaley
