Quite honestly, this question has been burning in the forefront of my mind for the past 45 days.....not because I lack hope or faith.....not because I don't believe in miracles. Because I know that most walk around their daily life not knowing when their final day will be and get caught up in so many distractions of life.
In the past week our local news has reported on a young child who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and was struck by a passing vehicle.....a father, son, brother, employee who was simply doing his job at 2am - diverting traffic when his vehicle was struck and exploded. They didn't know how that day was going to end.
I pray every day that my brother and I have more time with our dad, that my children have more time with their grandfather, that my mother has more time with her husband.......that we have more time then what statistics tell us.
Yet I promised myself on August 10, 2012 not to allow the time that I have with those who matter in my life be filled with distractions. That the laundry and dishes can wait if it means enjoying the little things in life. So that if that final day comes sooner then expected, I won't look back with regret. I challenge you to do the same.....
