If I make it to Saturday I will have outlived my dad by two years. He only got to enjoy two of his grands in his short life span and never got to meet his two granddaughters. I, on the other hand, have lived to see all my grands and am thankful and believing I will see fourth one come next spring.
Nobody knows when their own last day will be either. All that we can do is to live each day we have here to the fullest with love, kindness, goodness, joy, and oneness with God.
This is why I want to start each day by saying, "Good morning God, thank you for my life!" This is why I like to watch the sunrise and sunset. This is why I stop to smell the flowers and listen to the birds sing. This is why I hug my wife, son, daughter-in-law, and grands and tell them that I love them every chance I get. This is why I take the time to bend down and pet a dog or cat. This is why I lend a hand to a neighbor who needs my help. This is why I share a smile and a friendly wave with the people I pass on life’s road. I want to do all I can to show others that they can choose life, share love, and spread joy. I want to show them that everyday is precious, that every act of kindness is priceless, and that everyone of them is a powerful person who can make this world a better place.
None of us knows when our own lives here will end. What we do know is that we can love today. We can learn today. We can laugh today. We can help each other today. We can bring a little Heaven to Earth today. Live today then and when the end does come you will be able to face God with a loving and happy heart.
