THINK ABOUT IT            9-17-24

Last week I read the story of a 60 year old woman, a Wells Fargo employee in Tempe, Arizona who died at her desk. The shocking part is that nobody noticed it until four days later. No foul play was found and since she never check out she must have died on the first day. It wasn’t until four days later, when people started smelling a foul odor that she was found in her cubicle.

It’s hard to believe that no coworker, family member, or friend had not missed her during that time. It makes you wonder how long it would have gone on had she not been found due to the odor.

This also makes me wonder how many people are in the same boat but still alive. They live everyday without anyone taking notice of them. They could die and no one would care- unless of course there was an inheritance to be gained from it. They are just a face in the crowd in a world of people who by and large care only about themselves.

I don’t know of anything about that woman’s personal life or her character but I do know that we all come into contact with people who are in need. They need what Christ alone can provide and what we could provide. Sadly, although Christ died for them, we sometimes pay them no mind. We live as though they do not exist.

Every Christian needs to stop and think about where they would be had it not been for someone telling them about Christ and those who have helped them in life’s journey.Even so, someone needs you. We all should be involved in evangelism and encouragement everyday. – THINK ABOUT IT. – HDS
