The older I get the more
I think about mortality. Not an uncommon occurrence as we get closer to the
end. We start to wonder when buying big bottles of pills if we are in fact
buying a lifetime supply.
The other night I was
thinking about my wife, our life together and life in general.
Here's what I know.
Life and death are
capricious. Here one second and gone the next. Blink of an eye.
We have the time that we
have.
We get this one chance
to do it right.
Don't take the day for
granted. Find some part of each day to enjoy.
While there is ambiguity
in the many interpretations of the bible available there is also clarity when
it comes to the expressions of Jesus. There is eternity. There is salvation.
There is putting god first. There is love. There is caring about our fellow
human beings. There is placing the less fortunate and the poor first in line.
We should do more than say we're Christian. We should be Christian.
We're supposed to ease
suffering not cause it.
We're to be less
concerned with self-gratification and material gain.
The perfect church
edifice or leader doesn't exist. We can't create a church in our image.
We can question every
action we take or don't take to the point of non-functionality.
There's never going to
be enough time to get all those projects done.
There will never be
enough time to spend with loved ones, family and friends.
We have the time that we
have.
Make the most of it.
Make sure that the
people you love know that you love them. Say the words, sign the words or write
the words:
“I Love you.”
