Gruesome death

I witnessed a gruesome death today.. I was having my lunch with my colleagues and we were seated beside a road that cars can do parallel parking. When a lorry turned in, it hit a pigeon and well, the pigeon got dazed and fell to the ground. At that moment, I felt that the other pigeons just started to flutter around as if they want to get their poor friend out but well, they can only watch what is to happen. Unknowing all that was happening, the lorry driver reversed and crushed the poor pigeon. I cringed when I saw it. At the first sight, I dropped tears. As if not enough, the lorry drove forward after reversing. I was utterly stunned to the point of being unable to move my head. All I knew was to cry.

Prior to lunch, I met a client. I found out then that my client was near death. However, client's very resilient & strong & refused to succumb to death. When I found out about it, I was just suddenly hit by an emotional gush. This client is one of the many clients whom I love. As helpless as it is that I cannot share God's love with clients, I do still pray for them. Many a times, I leave the house thinking that it will be so great if they know God. NOT that their conditions will be suddenly better. NOT that the broken marriages will suddenly be healed. BUT for the simple fact that they know who they can go to for comfort & love & healing.

A pigeon is after all, just a bird. However, what went through my mind was death can really be so sudden. Sometimes, we just can't control it. Just as Steve Irwin will never have prepared for death by a sting ray. It just got me thinking about the many many MANY MANY out there who has yet to known God. Even for those who has known and has turned away. The fear of where we will reside after death got me "uppity". There's so many whom I loved and love.

As shared before in my previous blog on Lazarus and the Rich Man, the thin line between eternal death and eternal life is only in saying "I do" to Christ. As for me, instead of fluttering my wings and watch on, I better start a prayerful life and PRAY!!

Ok.. it has been a tiring day just by crying. Haa.. Shall turn in & pray!
