Don't Put Off Till Tomorrow

My daughter Hannah and her son Stanley came to visit last week, when she arrived I suggested we had a cuppa at the Salvation Army coffee morning, and then go on to Butterley Railway to take a trip on the train. We had a wonderful time, Stanley isn’t walking yet I think he thinks he can get to places faster by crawling. So he was in and out of the hall investigating the garden and then coming back. He thoroughly enjoyed being picked up by everyone too especially if they had a biscuit!

We made our way to Butterley Railway and hopped on the train to Swanwick Junction. 

They have a shed with lots of old trains in, a must for any train enthusiast, 

There is a café, a model railway, and an old chapel, a play area, and other things. We had a walk round the shed and looked at the trains, we had a walk in the chapel, which had a hymn book open on the organ. 

While Hannah was visiting the chapel I took Stanley to the small play area, he was an instant hit with the other children as he crawled around and then climbing into anything he came across. Stanley isn’t to happy about wearing shoes and socks so he was in his element crawling along in bare feet, as soon as we got back to my house his feet were put in the sink for a good wash. 

All in all we had a wonderful day even though it had not been planned before hand.  

This reminds me of what the Bible says about salvation, you cannot plan it. You can’t say, next Thursday at ten-o-clock I’m going to give my heart to the Lord. No, the Bible says that today is the day of salvation and it is a gift, it is not something you deserve, you can earn, or work for by keeping rules and regulations. Salvation is by the grace of God who gave His Son Jesus, as a sacrifice for our sins, Jesus took mine and your punishment, we are all guilty before God, we will all be punished for our sins unless we ask for forgiveness and put our trust in the Lord Jesus and all He as done for us.

You can make plans for most things, especially really important things like marriage, changing job, moving house, buying a car, etc. etc. But you cannot plan your salvation so don’t leave it, don’t put it off till tomorrow, tomorrow may be too late as it was for the man in the Bible: The Parable of the Rich Man This is the most important decision you will ever make in your life because it effects what will happen in the next.

This is the most imo
