Don't shine so others can see you. Shine so that through you, others can see HIM.

So on Wednesday at our church, its a tradition to all go to one of the deacon's house and do a small sermon and go around the room  to say what we are thankful for,this was the first year I said it myself ( usually my dad would say what I was thankful for) buttttttt  I did mine this year. Anyway, there is this amazing lady at our church that lost her father this year. It was hard for her, but she said something that got to me, this is kinda what she said " that anyone,someone we love can die at any moment so cherish the moment you have with your parents sibling and friends." From then on I was thinking about that. I really never stopped and thought about how at any moment one of us could die my father, mother or best friend and I have never really cherish that. This year I became a Christian.  As a Christian it's still sad when someone dies, but if that person is a Christian we do get to see them again one day. But we will not be thinking about that when we are looking upon the face of Beloved Savior. But it was just getting me...I have never just sat down and thought about that. Guys we never know when any of us will die and if you are not a Christian, that is a bigger incentive to run to Christ! To his open embrace.
But don't wait until your best friend, father or mother get sick to tell them you love them, or to give them a hug...go to them today, show them how much you love them, tell them.
And be thankful for them. Don't just wait for Thanksgiving to say that! show it every day!
Till the next time.
