Live Each Day As Your Last
It seems like every few weeks I hear about a man or woman of God who has gone Home. Maybe I’m getting older, or maybe there are more people dying these days or maybe I’m just noticing it more. On Monday, I learned of the sudden Homegoing of Stephen Hill whom you may have seen on the Gaither Homecoming videos. His sudden death made me think of Anthony Burger, another young man who died of a heart attack a while back.
The Gaither Vocal Band used to sing a song titled “Love Them While You Can.” You don’t know when this may be your last day or the last day of your loved ones. A couple weeks ago, we were in NY and were warned to avoid a certain route due to an accident that had occurred. I found out the other day that there were six people killed in that crash. If you had one day to live, what would you do differently? I’d suggest doing those things now.
Maybe I write on this topic too much but I see too many people living selfish lives. Too many people are too busy to take time for others. I wonder if Stephen Hill’s loved ones told him how much they loved him Sunday morning. Maybe they did or maybe he knew without them saying so but they won’t get another chance here on earth. Thankfully, we will have eternity but let’s not wait for that. Let’s begin now to live as if each day were our last. That way, there will be no regrets.
