What if you heard those four words today? How differently would you spend the next 30 days? I am sure I would get rid of the things in my life that do nothing but just waste my time. I doubt I would spend as much time working so much OT, and even less time on Facebook. I doubt I would spend one second of my 720 hours to worry over things that do not matter. Things like my weight, how clean my house is, or the latest style. I wouldn't waste one second of my time listening to gossip or backbiting. I would not keep score or waste time on past hurts. I wouldn't waste any time on petty arguments. I would spend more time with my husband and say "yes" the next time he asked me to tag along fishing or to chop wood. I would spend time with my girls and my loved ones. I doubt I would miss the opportunity to let people know what they mean to me. How much I appreciate having them in my life. I would imagine I would spend more time in God's word and in prayer. I would probably speak to the ones closest to me to make sure that they "know that they know" where they are going to be spending eternity. How much more fervently would I pray for my girls or for other's? I would probably have no problem staying away from the sins that so easily beset me. I would attempt to keep my life cleaner knowing the day is drawing near for me to meet my Creator. The thing is we never know when God will take us out of this world. None of us are promised tomorrow, much less 30 days.
Boast not thyself of tomorrow: for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.
Proverbs 27:1
