Each night when I lay down in my bed I say, “Thank you Lord for another day of life.” For the past several months this had been my prayer of thanksgiving because several months ago I was close to going home and being with my heavenly Father.
I often wonder how many people say this same thing at the end of their day. The Lord gives us each day and it is up to us to how we use it. For those of us that know the Lord personally, we try and live each day for Him. I often wonder how the day ends for those that don’t the Lord as their Lord and Savior. What does their tomorrow hold for them should they not make it through the night?
When I experienced my heart attack, I wasn’t thinking about dying. Even though the doctors told my wife I probably had a couple of more hours on earth had she not stopped at the emergency room, it still didn’t dawn on me that I could go to my heavenly home at any minute. I didn’t see any angels floating around me when I was on the table having stents put in my heart. I was awake and could hear the doctors and see the screen they were looking at; however, it never crossed my mind that I could die at any time. Of course, being a Christian I do realize that seeing Jesus is only a heartbeat away.
