I don't know about you guys, but for me, this past few months have been peppered with funerals. First off was my Granny, then it was F's granny, then Uncle D's father... Now things don't look too good for Uncle Larry... N's mom also doesn't seem to be farring any better.
All this death and dying business does seriously get you into a pensive mood. Still, in a way it's kinda good. Works like an alarm clock. It jerks you up and makes you realise the frailty of life. "For all men a like grass, and their glory is like the flowers of the field; The grass withers and the flowers fall."
How have I been spending my life? They say when you die, you whole life will flash before you. I want to make sure mine is worth watching. How about you?
Death also makes you wonder what on earth are we here for. I've heard of the struggles my grandmother went through, and I watched suffer during her last moments. While she was alive, the stuggles she went through would have made her a stonger person. Yet, at the end, what does it all amount to? "Vanity of vanities, all is vanity."
So what then do we live for? I know what I live for. I live to hone my skills and talents which God has given me so I may bring glory to Him. I may not be doing a very good job, but at least I'm trying my best.
Do you know what you are living for?
