Today, by the media of Facebook, I read that one of my good friends from Buckeye Career Center, died 7 days ago, and I just found out about it. A part of me feels terrible that I didn't know about this sooner. Here I am, carrying on about my day, my life, like there is no end to tomorrow, and in reality, Jen's life was over at the age of 21. How did she die? In her sleep. She wasn't sick, she wasn't hurt, she was a perfectly healthy, beautiful young woman of Christ, and in one night, her life was gone. Over. I skimmed through her wall and I saw the very last post that she, herself had posted, the same night that she died. It said "Work later. I really need to get back in to exercising.." At that moment, nothing was wrong. That was her life. Her life was going on and she had no idea, that within hours, she would be gone. What an eye opener to me, which is sad because you don't realize how short life is until you lose someone.
Life is short, you guys. It is not all about fun and games. There is a circle to life. You are conceived, born and then after that, you die. That's it. You never know when it will be over. Those people who you wish you would have said hello to, or given them a hug, or prayed with them, whatever, but you tell yourself "next time. I will do that next time.", well, what if their isn't a next time? What if that was the last time you ever saw them again? Do they know Christ? What if they don't know about Jesus or heaven because nobody talked about Him and the wonders of heaven? Take the plunge. Tell those people about God and how much He loves them! Because you never know when it will be the last time you will see them. When they will see you. Just something to think about...
