There will be a last time

16,700 is how many days I have been alive. Have you ever stopped and thought about it. There will be a last time. A last time to wake up., A last time to tell someone you love them. A last time to pick your child up and hold them for one day they will be to big. A last time to go to your job because your to old to work and your body can't take the stress of work anymore. A last time to do somthing for someone else, because your no longer able to help yourself. I say this not to you saddened. I say this to get you thinking. You have today to make a difference in this world. Once a day is spent, it gone. I often fight the old black dog of depression and the mulligrubs. I just can afford to let a day go by with that dog following me around. I refuse to feed it. If you don't feed a stray dog he want hang around very long. Learn to forgive, don't hold a grudge. Think of others before yourself. Pray daily and study God's word and apply it to your life. Those things will starve the black dog. Oh he will come around from time to time. You may even start feeding him without even thinking about it. With negative thoughts and attitudes . You can let that old dog steal your day and your joy. Or you can choose on purpose to starve him out. We can't always control all our circumstances which can often bring the old black dog around. The thing we can do is. Choose to have peace in our lives and a good attitude in our circumstances. So what if today where the last time for something for you? Would you send that text, write that letter, make that call, hold that child. Go after that dream? Somthing to think about. Just a thought JM                                                                                                                                      "Dream as if you'll live forever.                                                                                                             Live as if you'll die today."                                                                                                                     James Dean born Feb 8 1931, died September 30, 1955                                                                        He lived exactly 9,000 days
