I NEVER KNEW....

When Randy resigned from FBC Sevierville that Sunday morning, something changed. All of a sudden people began to tell us how much they would miss us and we shared how we would miss them. Some said they wished they had more time to spend with us and we certainly wished the same. We realized how deep our love went for one another, although we didn't always take the time to express it when we could.

Why are we like that???? Why do we wait until the very end to say something we should have been saying all along? How many people live with regret when a friend or love one passes away suddenly and they didn't get a chance to tell them how much they cared? Don't be one of those who live with that regret....TELL THEM!!! Take all the opportunities you can to love on your church members. If there are some people sitting on the pews in your church that mean a lot to you, tell them, or hug them, and let them know. Because some day you will walk out of those doors for the last time, walk slowly to your car and open the door, place your Bible and the plaque they gave you on the seat, and drive out of the parking lot as you watch the church disappear in the rearview mirror. And then it will be impossible to say the things you just assumed they knew.
