Life is so fleeting. In one instant, it can be taken from us. Each day truly is a gift.
Today, we had a shocking call that alerted us that Billy's grandmother might not make it through the night. We prayed and prayed, and much to our surprise and thanks to God's mercy, she made it through her surgery. We don't know what the future holds for her, but instances like these force us to think how precious each moment is.
Tomorrow is not promised. Each morning we awake is an opportunity to thank God for the blessing of a new day. Days like today are reminders of how delicate and fragile and fleeting our life truly is. But the good news is that we are not living for this life here on Earth, for we have a far greater paradise awaiting us. It's up to us to live our life like we are living on borrowed time - because we are.
I know when I awake tomorrow, I will keep this in mind as I go throughout the mundane tasks of my day, thinking about how I want to live my life.
