Grateful

If you have a television you have seen the recent destruction that Mother Nature has shown. From the tornado in AL to more recently in Joplin, MO life as you know it now can change in a blink of an eye. In less than an hour the entire city of Joplin was changed forever. Think about your business, home, place of worship, school, hospital and just city in general........gone. Wow. I think of those that have been told they don't have much longer to live. I have a friend who works in Hospice and I cannot imagine what a conversation like that must be like for either the one telling or the one hearing. So why am I saying all this? Because sometimes I just get wrapped up in work, home, church and forget to look around a bit. God has not promised us tomorrow so how would I live my life differently if I knew I would be gone tomorrow? Would I pray and read my Bible more diligently? Would I hug my family and tell them I love them more? Would I look for ways to show the love of Christ to others? Sometimes I think we spend so much time worrying about tomorrow that we forget that today and this moment is all we are promised. May I never take for granted anyone in my life and may I always live my days as if they were my last! Thank you for this day Lord!
