Lately I have been having these thoughts of death. I know that each of us are one day closer to death than we were yesterday. And I know that death cannot be avoided. We were not made to live forever here, on earth. So yes, I know, death is always going to happen, even to people we love.
But it doesn't make sense to rush those thoughts either. I mean what purpose does thinking about death benefit the thinker in this situation. I know that some could say it is to prepare yourself for that life changing event but still I see no real benefit for having them now. I know death is hard to cope with for families that are very close. And I know that thinking about something doesn't mean it is going to happen either. And while I love to be prepared, for everything in my life, and usually doing that with the worst case scenario in mind, does that really help me here.
I just pray that the Lord will help me fill my mind with more positive thoughts and thoughts of His way and not my way. For my thoughts can and usually do get off track and on to something else that isn't going to help me at all.
I love the people in my life and cannot ever imagine life without them. But just like what most people will joke about. Death is a 1 to 1 ratio and no one can escape death unless the Lord calls you home before your time is up. So move on mind and find a better place to dwell like enjoying the company of friends and family now. For that is all we have, today. We cannot control anything in the future no matter how hard we try and think about it.
