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, forwhom
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 .
