Life is Short

This is the continuation of the Life Application reading for March 25th

Life is short no matter how long we live. If there is something important we want to do, we must not put it off for a better day. Ask yourself, "If I had only six months to live, what would I do?" Tell someone that you love him or her? Deal with an undisciplined area in your life? Tell someone about Jesus? Because life is short, don't neglect what is truly important.

The obvious message - call your parents and grandparents :-),  make sure people know you love them, take care of business, etc. 


A story- You hear of cases all the time of someone who had passed doing something unusual or interesting, or having discussions with people etc,  before they did.  Dad seemed to have spoken to as many people as he could the week before he passed- unusual conversations and lunches and hugs and touches that were out of character.  Roland made peace with someone that was very important to him. He gave me 3 gifts that he was saving to give throughout the year.  What prompted that?


My friend Diane explained that this is such proof that our soul continues on. That it knows more than our personality- what we are in this body or shell for the soul. Like a hermit crab the hope is that we grow and move to a bigger and better shell. And only those who have passed know what that means- really.  But I digress as usual. Diane said that she feels our souls sometimes know our path even if our personality doesn't - that our earthly journey will be ending.

I think if you look back you may see this in many cases. With John - who I feel was spiritually evolved- his entire last few years were a build up to his death. The way he greeted people and said goodbye to people and just his overall attitude.

Something to think about. Come to your own conclusions.
It is wonderful that Roland had his very important conversation- that Dad held my hand and the other things that happened- but what time was wasted being angry - not saying what we feel- etc.  
Because life is short, don't neglect what is truly important

Luv ya.
