Sin like illness is best treated early in its course
Today my
daughter was visiting our neighbor. She has been coughing and
complaining of pain and the cough was productive of colored mucus. This
was accompanied by a sore throat.
It was 8:00 PM. I thought she
had a bronchitis and needed an antibiotic. I had a sulfa based
antibiotic on hand, but the neighbor was allergic to sulfa based drugs. All the
drugstores in the area were closed for Memorial Day.
My
daughters who live in the area did not have any antibiotics. Had we known a few hours
earlier I could have been of help by phoning in a prescription. Now she
will have to wait until tomorrow to get treatment.
She may get pneumonia by waiting too long to seek treatment.
The
phrase at the beginning of this post was one that I used to quote to
people to emphasize the need to repent early. If one does not, then the
spiritual illness that accompanies sin may become more serious and lead to spiritual death.
So, my dear grandchildren repent early and often.
Love,
Grandpa
