Life as I know it
Monday, March 14th, 2005well I have a few aging relatives, some of them are sick right now. We called home and found out that 1 of my aunts is critically ill, one just fell and is bedridden secondary to the fall, one uncle who stated, "I think i will die soon." I just stopped what I was doing and was hit by the realization that LIFE is fragile.
Those of us who are young don’t think about our aging years. We dont think about the age when we hit 70’s or 80’s or even 90’s. How are the things that we have now, things that we do now, and things we have said to people will actually affect us in the future. Have we asked for forgiveness or even forgave those who hurt us? How are we living life now? Is it worthy in God’s eyes, WHOM who gave us everything that we have; WHOM we owe for every heart beat and every breath that we take.
Life is fragile, a small crack can actually become a bigger crack eventually breaking this life. Do we fix the broken spot or do we let it become bigger? Then when life is shattered to pieces only then we try to fix it.
Why do we send flowers to the dead? Why not send them when they are still alive so they will know that you care and that you thought of them? Life, we know when it began, but do we know when it ends? "For whom the bell toils, it toils for thee."
How are we living this fragile life? Do we toss it like it’s a ball, and let it fall wherever it may? Do we treat it like our car, regualr oil change, waxing it, parking it where it cannot get hit by another car next to it?
Life is fragile, do we handle it with extra care?
