Confident?

 


When I bought a gently used 2012 Hyundai, I thought that I was in good shape.  No more breakdowns; no more stranded on the side of the road.  But one month later, I came out to find a flat tire.  Bummer.  I opened the trunk but found no spare tire or jack.  I got my floor jack from the garage and jacked up the car.  I reached for the tire wrench, but that was missing too.  Then I discovered locking lug nuts on the tire with no key in the glove box.  So, I got out my tire plugger, crawled under the car, and plugged the leak with the tire still on the car.  The next day I drove to the dealership (not in a good mood) to get new lug nuts, spare tire, tire wrench, and jack.  I only thought that I was ready for an emergency.  But when I actually had an emergency, I found out that I really wasn’t ready.  Hey, are you prepared for eternity?  Are you sure?  You don’t want to find out at the last minute that you aren’t prepared.  There isn’t a do-over after death.  The writer of the book of Hebrews said in Hebrews 9:27, “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.”  Prepare now for eternity while there is still time.  If you aren’t sure that you are prepared, please message me right now and let’s chat.  Don’t put it off; you may have an emergency today.
