Here and Now
Recently I was at a funeral, and while I was sitting there I got to thinking about different things. People come to funerals because they know the person, are related to the person, or in some way that person made an impact on their life. Usually you can judge the type of person they were by their funeral, how many attend, etc. Of course if it's an older person, sometimes their relatives aren't around to attend, but usually this applies.
All that being said, I began to wonder about the someday in my life's journey where I am the one in the casket, and I am no longer observing the funeral, but it is my own. I began to wonder how many people would attend, would anyone have good things to say about me, have I made an impact on anyones life, have I been a light for Christ?
One of the things that I want most in life is to have lived a life that made a difference to someone, and to Christ. I often find myself caught up in my own little world and I don't invest in others. I don't let my light shine.
Am I the only one who ever thinks about this?
This is going to be a very short post. I just wanted to share my heart. We only have 1 life to live, seriously 1 shot, how are we going to use it?
None of us are guaranteed to make it to our 80's or 90's, so we need to make the most of it right here, right now. We need to make a difference with the time we have.
What is it you plan to do with your one precious life?

You are not the only one to dwell on that! Good and important thoughts, Han. Thank you for sharing!
