Month/Day/Year --100 Words (Part 4)


[This is part 4 of a 5 part mini series dealing with how we spend our days. Part five comes tomorrow. Thanks for hanging in there with me!]

Month/Day/Year.

I was asked, “If you knew the day you’d die, would you live differently until then?”

Piously, I’d say no. I’d live as I am. Serving God. Loving family. Going on as if nothing was going to happen.”

While pious, that’s an outright lie.

Of course, if I knew the exact day I’d live differently. I wouldn’t sweat the small stuff. I would live more!

I’d anticipate going to heaven more. And prepare those left behind.

Shame on me for not living like I know the exact day!

Forgive me Lord for pretending that I’ll live forever.

I won’t.
