Just a thought by coppi

Let me look beyond limitations of time & space.  Father, to the vastness of life in you.

Belum (pronounced B’lum) “not yet” there in Indonesia, the word “no” is avoided whenever possible….too abrupt, too final & unyielding.  Belum leaves room for dreams.  Asked in a job interview, “Do you have a college degree”?  A 50-year old man who left school at nine will answer, “Belum”.  And, during a doctor’s exam, if an 80-year old woman is asked, “Do you have any children”?  She’ll smile & reply B’lum.   (Elizabeth Sherill).

I like to answer my own questions the same way.  Have I learned to play brilliant bridge & excellent golf.  Have I run a marathon, etc – B’lum to them all!  But, if asked “have you accepted Christ as your Savior – I do not say B’lum “not yet”  but  “yes, indeed”….no not yet for me. Life is short – eternity is forever!
