Reminders

The seeker just received the news that the President of one the previous companies he had worked for passed away suddenly. He was still kind of young, in his fifties... went for a routine check up to the doctor... the doctor noticed irregular heart beats and recommended immediate surgery... but the President died of cardiac arrest...

A seemingly healthy extremely well-to-do person enjoying the best of what this "material" world has to offer, suddenly, before anyone can realize it... is no more there...

Last year, around the same time, seeker's ex-boss had gotten shot 2-3 times in his abdomen by gangsters... while on a assignment to Central Africa... apparently the assignment was pretty lucrative in financial terms... he survived and is likely back at it again...

The seeker thinks... what is gained by toiling so hard to earn lots of money... when even this much money is of no use when death appears near?

Of course, one has to provide the best possible for the family... but where does one draw the line???

The seeker wants to "scale down"... work-wise and devote more time to the things his heart really wants to do...

The seeker wants to "scale down"... but he's being offered to "scale up"! His company wants him to take on the job of his ex-boss... who left recently...

The seeker doesn't want to take it... from his heart...

The seeker thinks... what's the use of a few grand more...

The seeker thinks... all these are kind of "reminders" to Him... he wants to pay attention to them... as he thinks every now and then... the Lord is telling him something...
