Last Day

Today is the last day of 2013.

Nickelback sings the song

“If Today Was Your Last Day”
and a few different lines of the lyrics really speak to me;
each day's a gift and not a given right
try to take the path less traveled by
against the grain should be a way of life
what's worth the prize is always worth the fight
leave your fears behind
do whatever it takes
every second counts
‘cause you can't rewind a moment in this life
would you live each moment like your last?

But what if this was actually my last day? What would I want to say? I guess what I’d really want is to make sure that YOU, knew that…

You are loved more than you know!
Your life matters.
You have eternal significance ~ not because of who you are, what you do, or how you do it, but because of the One who made you.

{And, of course, I’d tell my family that I love them more than they know!}

If today was your last day… what would you say?

Blessings
