A Sunset Musing

How much is enough?? How much before  satisfaction burp ENOUGH !!-with a flash of contented smile and a good circular tummy rub of satisfaction?? Only God knows!! Folks, take that literally! 

Father Michael Chua was speaking about  satisfaction level yesterday .....no need for chewing...YT had been there...satisfaction changes with circumstance and the times...yah, it certainly does... joy rarely simmers  for very long....the yearnings and wants...-it's never ending.....want to challenge that statement???Reflect back on your own lives..people, how long does satisfaction remain after each achievement and attainment??? You climb up one step and then you clamour for the next and  the next and the next.. ..xtra....only natural right??? Oh humans that we are!!  

But, what actually got YT chewing was  that portion  which drew reference to  the Bread of Life. A reflection on the answer the Rev gave when he was asked in jest, what he wanted for his last meal., and he answered  "the body of Christ" ( are you guys aware, he was in hospital with denggi fever, for a whole week??? ) Lucky someone gave him juice from papaya leaves  - that,  to YT is 99.9%   effective!!  .

I thought that was a perfectly wise answer, given the circumstance. Isn't it .....isn't the body of Jesus- the antidote of death...the power that gives life?? Each time YT thought of the thief...who stole his way into heaven...she could not help but marvelled  at the intelligence and  wisdom. of this very smart thief..who got an express one way ticket into heaven because,he stole the heart of the Lord Jesus, before the spirit yields to the Father! Smart move, right place , right time -wise  decision and viola!  How simple and yet...many are still unconvinced. Tragic! 

Got YT thinking...yes, ...the Body of Christ, as the last meal..could very well send in a host of angels to escort the departing soul into heaven!! I am not going to say death., because if you have heaven waiting for you...it is life..Leaving this world, .will no longer  be a frightening experience...instead, it would  be a joyous transit from earth into higher realm. Hmmm...
