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 first
glimpse of his loved one. He lives for the weekends. He lives for these visits.
As the cars arrive, he watches intently. Then, finally, she arrives, his bride, 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 his bride departs. 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 every day thing, or do we just visit Him on
Sunday"???
