What if

It’s fun to ask crazy questions to little kids. You never know whats gonna come out. If you ask a little kid how many years they will live they might answer something like “ a billion bazillion years!! “ they are young and full of life and the idea that something could happen to them just isn’t part of their young undeveloped minds. As I grow older, I said older not old, I am becoming more aware of how time goes so fast! Not one of us knows just how long we have here on planet earth. Psalm 90:12 says teach us to number our days that we may gain a heart of wisdom. What could that possibly mean? Well, if we take a close look at it, the first part says teach us to number our days. What if we actually took time to see how fleeting life is? How temporary? Have you ever known someone that was told they only had a short time left to live? They start doing everything they can with the short time they have. They value every breath. Every heartbeat!! So what if we looked at our life like we only had today? What would you do today? Who would you talk to? What would you tell them? What if we lived every day like that? Are you seeing now how wisdom grows when you look at how short your time is? There are people in your life who need Jesus. It true! I know I have people in mine that do. So why do I wait to tell them about Jesus? Why do I not take time to just be kind to someone? Instead of tapping my foot because the people in front of me at Walmart are taking too long why don’t I take a minute to say a kind word? Who knows? That could be my last day here. What if my last moment on earth was spent being impatient or rude instead of kind and loving? Friends, I think we all live like we have a billion bazillion years but I’m sorry to say we don’t. Let’s gain some wisdom and start living like tomorrow isn’t coming!! Let’s love like there’s no tomorrow!! Dear God, I thank you for every beat of our hearts! Our every breath! Help us to remember how fragile our life is and live out our lives in gratitude to you and kindness to others!!
Have a glorious day and remember to love someone today!!
