An Invitation

My sister Kelly, my cousin Mike and a friend took turns providing transportation this week for Kregg to and from his radiation treatments. Besides making him tired, the treatments seem to be going well.

I called to extend an invitation to Kregg and Kris to my house for dinner on Sunday since work and family kept me from spending any time with them this week. Kris told me that he has been cooking meals fit for a king for Kregg. Kregg has gained 4 pounds since last week... a combination of Kris's good cooking and an increased appetite from one of his medicines. Not that I am a good cook, but I thought they might enjoy someone else doing the cooking for a change. I do not know if they will accept my dinner invitation or not.

Over the years I have invited them over and they don't answer my invitation. I never know if they will show up or not....usually not.

As I was driving home from work yesterday I thought about how God invites each one of us to spend time with Him. He invites us to have a personal relationship with Him. He invites us to spend eternal life with Him and yet we often ignore the Creator of life's invitations. Do we really only show up when it is convenient for us? I know I don't always show up when He wants to spend time with me. I don't always RSVP when He offers to feed me. Do you?
