"Not Again This Way.."

As I think today about the thousands of people across the world who are suffering greatly from the storms of life -- hurricanes, earthquakes, threats of war and many fears within and without, it is heartbreaking to think of their pain and anguish.  I probably cannot do much in a tangible way for these hurting souls except to pray for those who are trying to minister to them.
But at this time in my life, where God has planted me, there is a work for me to do.  I want to be faithful, and remember that "I Shall Not Pass Again This Way."

     "I shall not pass again this way; I know not of tomorrow -- this is my day.
My yesterdays are gone -- forever passed away.
      Their joys and sorrows that have been will never cross my life again,
For I shall not pass again this way.

      I shall not pass again this way; my opportunity is for today,
To help another while I may.
      Oh, may I lend a helping hand, and speak a kind word while I can,
For I shall not pass again this way.

      I shall not pass again this way; May something I shall do or say
Help others on the heavenward way.
      O Master, may I do Thy work, and never from my duty shirk,
For I shall not pass again this way."
                                                       --Mrs. O. M. Vermillion

"Only one life--it will soon be past; only what's done for Christ will last."
