Don't waste it.

A phone call this weekend reminded me how short life can be. One minute you are perfectly healthy, and the next...
So often we forget the miracle of each day. Today I thought nothing of getting out of bed. I didn't stop to thank God I woke up. I don't ever do that.
While life happens, don't forget to do somthing that will last. Hug your spouse, kids, parents, and friends.  Give them the love you hope will last, even when you won't.
Recently I was also reminded that fame never lasts. As much as we strive to be the best in our field, make the most money, have the greatest influence, in generations to come, chances are our name won't sound familiar. Its crazy to think about how little impact we have on the world. In the small amount of time we spend on this earth, why would we ever think that its all about us? When did I start believing that lie?
My question is this, who are you living for? Since none of us is eternal, why live for what cannot last? Only one name will remain throughout time, only one.
As you go throughout this week be reminded that you are but a vapor. Live for something more than yourself. Live so that God shines through, even when you are gone. Leave a lasting legacy, bringing glory to His name.
