James 4:13-14 (NKJV) Do Not Boast About Tomorrow 13 Come now, you who say, \u201cToday or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit\u201d; 14 whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.<\/p>\n
This has been a different kind of week for us. There have been a lot of unexpected things happening. Not just with us, but also with people we know.<\/p>\n
We attended a funeral for the brother of one of my high school friends. This man died very unexpectedly, at the young age of just 49. He suffered two strokes and a blood clot at the base of his brain in just a matter of a few days. What started out as any other normal week for him and his family\u00a0ended with him dying.<\/p>\n
Another person that I know through Facebook, a Christian musician, recently lost her dad, also unexpectedly, as he died in his sleep at a fairly young age.<\/p>\n
Both of these events have brought sudden and drastic change to the lives of the people who lost their loved ones.<\/p>\n
So we want to remind everyone today about how fragile life is. Not a single one of us is promised a tomorrow. None of us is even promised a next breath or a next heartbeat.<\/p>\n
We don’t decide the number of our days.<\/p>\n
So at the risk of sounding clich\u00e9, we want to remind everyone reading this not to take life lightly and to cherish those around you. We don’t know how long they or we are here for and our lives can be changed in an instant when someone we love leaves us.<\/p>\n
Love life and love those in<\/i>\u00a0your life. Love them like there is no tomorrow. Don’t take them for granted for even one second. It’s far too often that we lose someone we love and only then do we realize what we’ve lost and how much we regret not spending more time with them or not showing them how much we really love them.<\/p>\n
So today’s message is just a simple reminder to love, and love bigly<\/b>. We have been given love, so let’s love those around us while we can.<\/p>\n
