Last night in Vision a prayer request was made for a girl who used to attend First Assembly Christian Academy.  She's 21 now.  She has pancreatic cancer and has been given 2-6 months to live.  Someone asked "How can you deal with that?  Knowing you have a few months to live?"  I knew what he meant, but I had to say what popped in my head.  "This is how we should all live.  But like we have today left to live."  I don't begin to know this girl and her family's heartache. So please don't think I'm implying it's easy to deal with.  But if you knew today was your last, what would you do? Forgive?  Hug? Say things you should've said a long time ago?  Rededicate your life to Christ?  Get saved?  Boy I'm thinking of lots of things I've just indefinitely put off.   

I'm also thinking of just working and toiling and living.  When does hard work pay off?  If it's in heaven is that ok?  Or have you said, "I'm sick of it.  I can't do it anymore.  I'm giving up"?  Boy I have.  But think of your life here on earth.  Say you're going on a huge vacation next week.  Doesn't it make it easier to get through this week?  You're working hard because next week's the payoff.  Our life is the work before the payoff.........if we don't give up.  It's so hard to keep going sometimes, but with God's help we can. 

Hebrews 9:27And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:  Praise God when we Christians meet our righteous judge!

Just to change the subject, my husband.............wears 3 pairs of socks at a time on his feet! Hah!  Next time you see him, ask him to take his shoes off if you don't believe me.Wink He won't mind a bit.
