VISITING DAY

He was looking forward to this moment all day long, after 6 days of labor
and it finally arrived - Visiting Day!

The man with the keys arrived to swing open the large, heavy doors. The cold
gray hall springs to life in the warm glow of light. He could hardly control
His emotions.

The families began to arrive. He peers from the corner of the room longing
for the 1st glimpse of His loved one. He lives for the weekends. He lives
for these visits.

As the cars arrive, He watches intently. Then, finally, they arrive, for
whom He would do anything. They embrace, eat a light lunch and reminisce how
things used to be.

At one point, they break into singing, with interruptions of laughter and
applause. But all too soon it is over. A tear comes to His eyes as they
depart.

Then the man with the keys closes the heavy doors. He hears the key turn in
the lock marking the end of a special day. There He stands, alone again.

He knows that most of His visitors will not contact Him again till next
week. As the last car pulls away from the parking lot, Jesus retreats into
loneliness as He waits until next Sunday - Visiting Day.

Is the time that we spend with Jesus an everyday thing, or do we just visit
Him on Sunday. Think about it ...
