The last day...

[Willow]

Here is a question of late that is circling around my coworkers. If you knew you had one last day on this earth, or you knew someone else was going to have their last day on earth, what would you do? How would it change those 24 hours for you?.......

This hits home since I have found out 3 people in the last week who have been given the 'any day now' diagnosis.....

Since I'm a christian I would spend my last day(s) first making sure I had my will and testamony complete. I would pray to God to give the best day of life so that others will be able say wow! what a man I want to be just like ray because he lived a life for God. I would not spend the whole day writing my will because I would want to make sure my funeral would be a the biggest celebration ever. IF it were my last dying day I would make sure I got a second opinion. Cause if I can't enjoy the last of my life no one else will have the oppurtunity to spend the last of my wealth which ain't much anyway.

However, IF, BIG IF, IF I where not a believer in The Lord. First I would not be wrting on this chat board. I would be out breaking everyone or almost all of the 10 comandments. But since I'm a chrsitian now I want have to worry about this last statement because its if and only if and I am not.

I'd get up in the morning and have a really good breakfast.

I'd spend the morning in a quiet place talking with God, and make sure I had my things in order.

I'd have a really good lunch and spend the afternoon with my family making sure they had there things together and say goodby.

My wife and I would have a really good dinner.

We'd spend the evening together and I make sure she had all her things together.

We'd go to Braums and have some really good icecream and come home and do those things that married people do

Then I'd talk to God for a little while then go to sleep and go home.

I have been trying to imagine what I wold do, I would want to spend time with my husband and sister. The two people who mean the most to me. I would ask God to help them and keep them close to him.

Truthfully I can't imagine it. Though heaven is amazing I hear, I can't imagine being away from my husband, though I would love to be with the Lord, I get sad thinking I would have to leave my husband. I know he would be crushed and I would never want that for him. So scary to think about that. I am glad God's timing is perfect and I have nothing to do with it. I would rather not know! I am sure God would use that day to His glory anyway, my life is not my own.

I would do as I always do everyday...I would cover myself with the blood of Jesus and ask for forgiveness for anything that I have allowed to sneak in....

I would then prepare my children and explain to them that if they come to the the Lord and dedicate their lives to Him that we will be reunited in heaven and express to them how much they mean to me and express my love by holding them in my arms ...

Then, I would spead time with my husband telling him how much I love him and how confident I am in him as the spiritual head of out home and children...

I would gather us all together and spead the entire time together laughing and praying together.. that God would comfort them and give them peace over my absense...

At bedtime I would put the children to bed and spend time with my husband and fall asleep praying to my Lord as He reaches out His arms to welcome me home...

I guess I would wake early, drive to my favorite park and watch the sun rise. I would sing with the birds that morning Praises to God. I would pray and seek him, to ready my heart and spirit.

Then I would go home and eat breakfast with my parents. I am not sure how many times we have ever had breakfast together. Not many. It is the meal most skipped in our home. I would tell them I loved them and how much they have been an inspiration to me.

From there I would go to see my closest friends. Thanking and hugging them each for all they have done for me, as mentors, friends, role models, teachers, just everything!! I would then go and see my pastor and thank him for his wonderful leadership and model he has provided nearly all my life. And to press into all that God has for him and where he wants to take our church as a body.

By mid afternoon I would be hungry so I would get lunch, on the way to downtown Vancouver. I would stop somewhere and purchase some blankets etc and go down to the section where all the addicts are. A Four block radius with the highest concentration of addicts and HIV infected people per block in North America I think are the stats. I would find homeless men or women and sit and talk with them. Give them a blanket, buy them something to eat or drink, and just be with them. I would hug them too. Many of them have never been hugged in many many years. Nobody likes to touch the untouchable in society. I would stay there until just before sunset.

Then I would head out to the park nearby and watch the sun set over the water. I would sing and pray the whole way home. Once home again, I would sit down and have supper with mom and dad. And once we finished that, have communion with them. Give them one final hug and kiss goodnight. I would let mom tuck me in, and read to me the story of Paddington Bear, one she used to read when I was a young girl - about 8 years old, and always before I would go to bed.

Then, I would go home to my father in Heaven.

You all paint such beautiful pictures. One day doesn't seem enough to do all that I would want to do so.............. I should start now as if I didn't have tomorrow. (hmmm what a thought, lol)
