In 2004 Tim McGraw released a song called Live Like You Were Dying. And for a brief moment we were taken to a place where we thought about death. Our death. The end of our life. Well, at least I was.
The words were powerful. The scenarios of the people in the verses were relateable . You could picture yourself in their shoes. For a brief moment, we thought about death.
But on an average day, how often do we think about the end of our lives? Once, twice or maybe not at all.
Life is so fragile. I don’t think we really comprehend that on an average day. In Chapter two, Francis opens with thoughts of life and death. He reminds us of our fragile life really is.
As I was reading this I’m reminded of what’s really important. Like the chorus of Tim’s song, we need to live our lives as if we were dying. Breathing in every moment of our day as if it were the last. Loving, forgiving and enjoying the people who are dear to us. Loving God with our whole hearts.
Sisters, I am so grateful for each of you. You have blessed me more than I will ever be able to express. I love you all.
So……
What would you do today if you knew today was your last day on earth?
