The other morning while driving to work I came within seconds and inches of leaving this earth, because of a high speed car on the interstate. It made me reflect and appreciate another day that God had given me to live. I then looked inward to see if I had regrets and at first I thought no, but then several days later, I think differently based on a reference given by a friend. He was asked to write 3 character traits that best represented me. What he wrote brought tears to my eyes as I saw myself through his eyes. It could have easily been read at my funeral, had my life ended that previous day.
As somber as all of this sounds it made me realize that we can, rather I can or should share, more with those around me. Do I have words that I would speak at a funeral, but have not shared at least once with that person? Would I wish I had told them how special they were to me?
Just yesterday my daughter called and shared a situation from a mutual friend whose parents have disowned him as a result of a life-style choice that child was making. My daughter questioned me on my stance and how a Christian could be so cold hearted towards their own son. She asked for reassurance in case she was in that situation.
Both of these situations led me to my readings this morning that I thought to share. Maybe there is someone in your life that needs to hear what you think about them, for it could very well be their last or first!
