The Future--100 Words

The future.

What does the future hold?

Wish I knew.

Wish I could predict your future. I’d probably be rich. Don’t you think?

But, I’m not sure I’d waste my predicting on your future. I’d be selfish and focus on mine.

I’d like to know about retirement. Then again, maybe not.

I’d like to know where I’ll be next year. Maybe not.

I’d like to know about next month. Next week. Tomorrow.

Maybe not.

I suppose God knows best by not letting us see into the future.

We’d spend so much time there, that we wouldn’t live in the present.

Death--100 Words

Death.

These days, I am surrounded by it.

Young. Old. Some old while still young.

New bodies. Worn out bodies. Overweight bodies. Skinny bodies.

Each one died. Their heart stopped. Their lungs shut down. They died.

Some went to heaven. Some did not. I didn’t make that decision. They did.

I don’t sit in judgment. I pray for their family and offer comfort.

One thing for sure. They all met their Maker. Some were glad to see Him. Some shocked.

God didn’t make their decision for them either. They decided it. Now, they live with that choice.

For eternity. Forever.
