I recently passed out during a jog with my dog (long story; I’ll spare you). Short story, I ended up in the hospital through the ER to get checked out. Found I have a little bit of a cardiac issue that most likely is a combination of age and genetics. Anyway, it just brought home that we need to cherish ever day like it’s our last. I’m not talking about being fatalistic. I’m just talking about cherishing life.
Think about dropping your eight year old off at camp and never seeing her again because she was swept away by a flooding river (think Texas). Or your spouse going to the store to pick something up but never returning because he was killed in an accident (true story; colleague of mine).
Life has its ups and downs. And its twists and turns. And its lives and deaths.
You never know when God is going to call you to Him (or elsewhere). When it’s time, it’s time. Don’t be fatalistic. But cherish every day as if it is your last!
Have a great rest of the week cherishing every day!
