TOMORROW IS NEVER A PROMISE . . .

Sometimes we take our lives for granted. We think that when we close our eyes at night it is a guarantee that we are going to wake up the next morning with a fresh beginning. That is not always the case. Yesterday I found out that a very good friend of mine died at the age of 35 yrs. old in her sleep. So very young. She leaves behind 2 young daughters, a husband, and a ministry that the Lord has blessed her and her husband with. This death bothered me greatly. One, she died from complications from a gastric by-pass surgery. A surgery that I have just undergone one month ago. Two, she was very young, and three, I've known her for years. We learn as we travel through this life and the one lesson that I am learning is that you have to be careful how you live your life. You must repent every bad thing that you have done to others or to yourself as every minute ticks by. If you do not, you may never get the chance to do so because TOMORROW IS NEVER A PROMISE.

I also have a friend that died last month. Just four months prior to her dying, I held a long conversation with her at our local Wal-Mart. 27 yrs. old with a heart condition. She was waiting on a heart for a transplant. Man I tell you. . . Whoever said that life is too short to be kidding around knew what they were talking about. How serious are you living your life? Who have you offended and never cleared the offence before going to bed. I know that I will be careful about what I do and what I say to people. I will be careful to repent at the very moment that God shows me that I have done something that is offensive to myself or to others and as I take one day at a time living my life, I will make sure that I take what I do serious and make a difference in the lives of others and my own life. I challenge you to do the same!
