Lightning

Have you ever just sat and watched lightning from far away? Well I am right now. It's 1:17am right now and I am looking outside and there is lightning behind the mt. Have you ever thought of lightning being like our lives? You may be like what is she talking about well.. Think about it.... We say that our human lives are a flash live one moment gone the next just like lightning. It's here one moment gone the next until a different one strikes. Never the same bolt. Have you ever had a dream that you wanted to go for, but never had the guts to make it happen, or was just to scared to reach for it. And then you wish you did? Or did you ever go back on a word and later say man I should of done that. Or said goodbye. Or see you tomorrow an there's no tomorrow? There's always if I did this then this would of happened. Or if I stayed one more day I could of been there to be with her before she passed. We think about everything after it happens. We don't think about the before. But God does. He knows why you didn't go or why you didn't say something that could of changed the situation. Instead of saying the what ifs why don't we say yes....yes I'll help you....yes I will go to your ball game... Yes I'll stay with you tonight in the HP so your not alone. Our lives will be over before we know it like a flash if lightning. Why don't we start making it count ya life is busy life is hard. But can't we take ten minutes to pray or five to ask Jesus into your life. Or an hour or two for church every Sunday morning. And have a family dinner after. Or take a week an to church camp. That year just might be your year like this one was mine. Ya life can get in the way but you don't have to let it. Don't give up so easily don't give in to the shroud of  you should love your family yes even the ones who hurt you . Love your friends...LOVE JESUS and if you don't know him you can today. Do you know that you that you know if you were to die today that you are going to Heaven?! Or are you asking your self will I? Well if you don't know say that prayer follow Jesus love him so then you do know 100%. Is life perfect and easy after being saved....being honest no, but it's so worth it. Know  that he loves us even more WHEN WE MESS UP! Why? Because we are his children, his lambs and he is our shepherd, he is our umbrella when it's raining. He's out shelter when we don't have a home. He is the breathtaking man who gave HIs life or all of us. He knew what was coming and he could of easily said wow father I'm not doing this BUT HE DIDN'T...he didn't give up on us. So don't give up  on life. Don't give up on friends . Or family.  Don't give up your faith. Don't give up your dreams. Or your plans to do things with your day. Because like lightning you never know when you'll strike and leave this earth!
