New Year, New Outlook

Dealing with my dad and his liver cancer, has helped me in my outlook on life. I have always believed that "life is fragile", but really never considered the validity of that statement. Although I have experienced death through one of my grandmothers and one of my grandfathers, as well as, one of my uncles, it has never been as close as a parent. I can say without regret that my relationship with my dad has never been what I would have wanted it to be, but I now realized it worked out for my good. I believe all things will work together for good, because God has called me into his family. So, no matter what happens in my life God will use it for his Glory and my good if I allow it. So that is what I intend to do.

I am sad at the thought of losing a parent to death. I am unsure of how my children will handle it, but I am sure of the peace that God will provide when death does come. Let me remind you that the Bible says that "it is appointed unto man once to die, and after that the Judgement". It reminds me of the fact that we will have to face God one day, and probably sooner than we think. Everyday should be lived as if it were our last. If we live as if we were going to be standing in front of God tomorrow, how different would your day look?
