48 Hours

What if the doctor informed you that you had only 48 hours (or one week, or one month) to live? What would you do with that time? Who would you call or go see? What amends would you make so that your heart would be clear as you entered eternity?

In the Bible (James 4:14 KJV), it says, "Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away."

We have no idea how much time we have left on this earth. Even the strongest, healthiest person can be killed instantly in a car wreck. It's good to be reminded periodically of the frailty of life. Don't put off what needs to be done. Don't die with things left undone, with affairs not in order, with forgiveness not granted, with promises not kept, with "I love you" not said.
