What About Tomorrow??

I have a question. Have you heard the phrase, " if tomorrow never comes."? Doesn't that sound like a cheesy Garth Brooks song? Anyway!! Have you ever really thought about it? I have been thinking about those 4 word? I'm not trying to be morbid but the Lord is the only One who knows when we are going to be called home. We all are actually living on borrowed time if you think about it. The lord gives us to our parents and He gives our children to us. He can also choose to take anyone of us at any time. OK so that the reality but we cant dwell on that fact. What I have come to realize is that tomorrow might not come, and if it doesn't come for me, will I be okay with that. Have I lived my life according to the Lord?Am I pleased with what I've done in my 26 years? Have I loved my kids enough to last them the rest of their lives? Have I wrapped my arms around them enough so that they will remember what my hugs feel like? Did I teach them enough about the Lord to ensure their place in heaven ? Have I told all the people in my life what I wanted them to know? Will my family and friends remember me for the good I've done? Does Vern know that I love him and have loved him since the moment I saw him? But in all those questions, the question I ask the most is , Will I go to heaven?I asked the Lord in to my heart, to be my Lord and Savior, and was baptised when I was 15. I am 26 and I remember that day like it was yesterday. That day saved my life!!! I pray often and I ask for forgiveness often. I serve such a forgiving and loving God that when I mess up all I need to do is ask for His forgiveness, and He hears me!! Psalm 3:4 "I cried to the Lord with my voice, And He heard me from His holy hill." No matter where you are take a moment and talk to Him, He can hear you. With forgiveness in mind, I go one to my next verse. 1 Corinthians 5:6 " Therefore we are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord." That means to me that if we are saved and repent and try to live according to His perfect will. Then when we leave these worldly bodies we are going to be in the presence of the Lord... That in itself gives me all the comfort I need. So I am going to keep telling people what I want them to know, teaching my kids about Jesus, hug them every chance I get, tell Vern I love him, live for the Lord, ask for His forgiveness and live every tomorrow He gives me, to the fullest.. What are you going to do with your tomorrows? Make them count.
Love in Christ,
Des
