I don't really know where I want to go with this post. I have had the "title" in my head for the past few days. I have touched on this in a few of my recent posts but it's hitting me hard lately so I guess that means I need to hit my readers with it as well.
Do you know Jesus? Have you asked Him into your life? Do you know where you will be on that day He returns to this earth to take us home? Are you certain that when that day comes, you will be reunited with your loved ones at Heaven's gate? Friends, please, if you question this at all, tell me. No, I am not in a place emotionally right now that I can talk you through this but I can connect you with someone who can.
I cannot stress to you enough how fleeting each moment is. You never know what day will be your last. You never know when the words you speak to someone will be the last words they hear you utter. I say this to you so you will make the most of EVERYTHING you do. Don't put off till tomorrow what you can do today. When someone is taken from you, taken when you least expect it, you will understand what I am talking about...but then it will be too late. Don't question where you stand when it comes to your salvation. I would not be able to make it through this if I didn't know Jesus. I pray for strength and He gives it to me. I feel like I can't go on and He carries me. He knows what I need just when I need it.
I am going leave you with the lyrics to the song How you Live by Point of Grace to think about your life. Please make sure you are where you should be. Please make sure you are living your life the way you want to be....
Wake up to the sunlight
With your windows open
Don't hold in your anger or leave things unspoken
Wear your red dress
Use your good dishes
Make a big mess and make lots of wishes
Have what you want But want what you have
And don't spend your life lookin' back
Turn up the music
Turn it up loud
Take a few chances
Let it all out
You won't regret it
Lookin' back from where you have been
Cuz it's not who you knew
And it's not what you did
It's how you live
So go to the ballgames
And go to the ballet
And go see your folks more than just on the holidays
Kiss all your children
Dance with your wife
Tell your husband you love him every night
Don't run from the truth
'Cause you can't get away
Just face it and you'll be okay
Turn up the music
Turn it up loud
Take a few chances
Let it all out
You won't regret it
Lookin' back from where you have been '
Cause it's not who you knew
And it's not what you did
It's how you live
Oh wherever you are and wherever you've been
Now is the time to begin
So give to the needy
And pray for the grieving
E'en when you don't think that you can
'Cause all that you do is bound to come back to you
So think of your fellow man
Make peace with God and make peace with yourself
'Cause in the end there's nobody else
Turn up the music
Turn it up loud
Take a few chances
Let it all out
'Cause you won't regret it
Lookin' back from where you have been
'Cause it's not who you knew
And it's not what you did
It's how you live
'Cause it's not who you knew
And it's not what you did
It's how you live

Thank you for the awesome reminder.
We must live for today as our Lord does not promise us a tomorrow... only that He will be with us today!
I love that song too!
