Life is so very short

A friend from high school passed away today.  We went from elementary through high school together.  I just saw her at our 30 year high school reunion a few months ago. She was my age.  That's surreal. 

Over the last few years I've had friends that have passed away.  As I get older, it will be more frequent, I'm sure.  We've already lost my parents, my in-laws, my brother in law.  I lost my grandparents long ago.

Death is a part of life.  Life is so very short.  Except for those long days in school when that clock would not budge!

It's something we all know.  Life is short.  Yes, got it.  But we forget.  We get caught up in the mundane.  The tedious.  The drama.  The wastefulness.

Our lives go on after the memorial.  But theirs will forever be changed.  Her husband, her daughter, her family.

Stop and smell that rose.

Hug your friends and even your enemies.

Take time to dance.

Enjoy the sun.

Make a difference.

Smile.

Make someone else smile.

Take that vacation.  See that bucket list place.

Most importantly though is this.
Get your spiritual life in order.  There's only one way to Heaven-through Jesus Christ.
Romans 10:9 "if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved"
.
Don't take a chance with your soul.

Our life here on earth is short but our soul lives on forever.

Love and hugs my friends.
