"Teach us to realize the brevity of life, so that we may grow in wisdom". '90:12NLT).
LIVE YOUR LIFE TO THE FULLEST
He logged twelve hour everyday, and sometimes weekends. Even when he wasn't working he was thinking of work. His wife tried to slow him down. He knew they were not as close as they used to be. He hadn't intended to drift away, it's just that she seem to need more time, and that's one thing he doesn't Have to give. He was vaguely aware that his children are growing up and he was missing it. They Complained about books he wasn't reading to them, games he wasn't playing with them and trips he wasn't taking them. After a while they stopped complaining or expecting their lives might ever be different. 'I will be more available when things settle down,' he thought. When he felt guilty he told himself 'I am doing it for them'. His wife asked him about going to Church but he said, 'There will be plenty of time for that sort of thing when things settle down'. His Doctor told him he had elevated blood pressure and high cholesterol but he told himself 'there will be plenty of time for that when things settle down'. Quietly, efficiently, irrestibly, his body was ready to do him in. One morning his wife woke up by 3 a.m. and found that he was not beside her on the bed. She went downstairs to drag him to bed and saw him sitting still in front of the computer, his head hanging low. She touched him but he didn't respond. When the paramedics got there they told her he had suffered a massive heart attack. Things had finally settled down! Please spend time this weekend to enjoy your family, friends and be sure to be in Church on Sunday. You only have this one life to live, live it to the fullest.
Prayer Point
Father, thank you for the life, family, and job, that you have given me to enjoy. Help me to live for that which is important in Jesus name
