live like we're dying

Time.  It seems like everyone is talking about it.  Some believe we have a lot of it, some try to make up silly predictions when it will end, but what is it that we're really doing with the time God has given us?

This week I've been reminded just how precious time can be.  
Yesterday an eighteen year old boy died of a heart attack. 
No one saw it coming.

He left behind a mom and dad that loved him with all their heart.

A sister and brother that had started November 7th with him are now left with only memories today. 

He left behind a girlfriend that has to realize the guy she had a relationship with, she will never see again on this earth. 

Friends that had made plans to hang out with him have to deal with the pain filled reality that in just one moment everything can change, and they can't do a single thing about it. 

This life we live...we only have for a moment,let's not waste it.

Maybe you're a teenager that doesn't appreciate the parents God has given you, maybe you're an adult who has a screwed up past because of all the lies and distrust you had to grow up dealing with as a kid, maybe you are unhappy that you only have one true friend at a school filled with cliques and popularity contests.
Wherever you're at right now, make time to love these people that God has put in your life, because you never know when you're going to lose them.  Time is ticking

Live like you are dying

thankful for each day,
