Life is precious.....

Life is so precious. This thought came to mind as I wheeled my sister out of the hospital today....the result of a simple procedure that became more complex and resulted in a week long hospital stay. As I spent each night at the hospital on the uncomfortable lounge chair with the constant beeps from various hospital equipment in the background, I began to ponder the fragility of life.

Why does it take a tragedy or near death experience to bring about the realization that you're not living life to your full potential? Why do we (people in general) get comfortable so quick?

These are simple questions with simple and sometimes not so simple answers, depending on who you ask. I think those comfortable with the cycle of life, will provide a complex answer...probably filled with excuses. Whereas, those with drive, the constant fire to do and complete tasks, would provide a simple answer.

What's your answer?

Whatever it may be, understand that time waits for no one, it is constantly moving. Tomorrow will soon be today, so make it count. Follow your heart, dream big and do what God wants you to do. If you don't know what that is, then you may need to develop a better relationship with Him. Talk less and learn to listen more.

Food for thought: If you call yourself your Father's child, why aren't you doing your Father's will and exhibiting your Father's traits?

Until next time.
