What if you died today? In the next few minutes? On the way to school to work? Have you ever thought today could be your last day? No, most people don't. I don't either. I take advantage of "just running into town" and plan things for 3 years down the road, never thinking there might not be a "coming back from town" or a "in three years". Think about it. Everything you do, every choice you make, leads up to your death. (I know I probably don't sound very religous in this statement). Take this for example: A lady is going to the store, so she gets ready and locks her door before she leaves. When she gets in the car, she decides to go a little out of her way to drop something off to a friend, so she gets out of her car, goes back into her house, gets what she needs, then locks the door again, etc etc... Well, on her way to the store, someone runs a stop sign and she is killed. ::sad:: Yes I know. But, think about it, maybe if she didn't go back into her house, she would have never died, but, is it really like Final Destination 1 and 2, "when you're number is up, it's up" Would she have died another way? All I can say is, is death is a scary thought. For me, Im not afraid of dying... I want to die actually, but I suppose most Christians are like that. To live in a place where you are free from pain, sadness, illness, etc etc, and to live forever in that place, what an amazing thought. But the scary part is how death will come. If I had a choice, I would choose to go like my grandma did, "and old lady warm in her bed" (heh, I hate the movie - Titanic if you didn't know) But seriously. To just go to bed and die, not knowing what was coming to you. That, to me, would be the way. But, obviously, we don't choose the way we want to die, (ok, suicide I guess is a choice) but that is why I rely on the Lord to take care of me. I could die tonight on the way to class, or coming home from class, or tomorrow or whenever. And yes, the thought scares me, that being so young, I could die. But there are people who die everyday, you never know when it's your day. You pass your "death"day every year, (heh, sometimes every four years if it is on leap year) without even knowing it. Do you want to live forever? If so, then make the change today... repent, ask for forgiveness, accept the Lord into your heart, live for Him.
Think about how many people you know in this world. I don't care if you can't stand the person, or if you love the person, or if you never wanted to think of that person again. That person has been placed in your memory forever (ok, Alzheimers may alter that). Now, how many people in your memory are really special??? I know I have a lot. But I also know that they don't know that they are special to me? Don't be like me. So, and I won't name names because of the whole internet privacy thing, here goes... If I happen to die today, first of all, I want everyone who knows me to know that I love them very much, even the people I disagreed with on more than one occasion. To the people who have made a difference in my life... there are no words that can describe how thankful I am for you, and if you don't know who you are, then this is the way to tell... Did I tell you a lot of things about my life, and listen to you tell about your life? Did I trust you with things I wouldn't tell just anyone? Did I ever help you out in more ways than one, trying to repay you for the things you did for me? Heh, I believe the word for those people is "friend". Again I thank everyone for everything they have done for me... Ok, now to people who actually read this, this IS NOT a suicide note, I was just saying how I take advantage of "life" sometimes.... Anyway, what do you guys think? Leave some comments or tags................. ttyl
