Life is short and should not be taken for granted. We should thank the Lord every morning and every night for the time He has given us on earth. No one knows the time the Lord is going to take us home to be with him or allow Satan to take non-believers to his hot place in hades.
I have lost love ones to unexpected death and have gone through the grieving process with my family; however, we will always have the fond memories of this person. We cherish the remembrances of his accepting Christ as his Savior and making it public knowledge of where he will live when called home to Jesus. I know of others that are suffering at this moment of uncertainty because a loved one is fighting cancer and it seems no cure is available. Their only hope for recovery is through the love and power of Jesus Christ.
Time waits on no one. We are not promised tomorrow; today is our day to live and be a witness for our heavenly Father. Today may not be easy on us but it is all we have. Our attitude and integrity will be evident on how we handle any situation that comes our way or is before us.
