Good Morning,
I am waiting on the Door County Cherry Creme Coffee to finish brewing and it seems to be taking forever.
Today if he had lived, my dad would have been 92 years old. I can't help but think about him today. Dad was always busy and made the most of each day. He also was the one to teach me about taking short naps to replenish my energy. Dad was pretty healthy and what killed him was a roof, and a ladder accident. So it wasn't like we had an illness to deal with. We had no notice of death to be able to have some last words with Dad. It was the same with our mother. Whatever we said on our last visit to them was our last words or whatever was said during our last phone call, was our last words.
What I can tell you, is we three siblings wished we had been able to say our peace with them before their eyes closed for good.
So the lesson for today is to keep mortality in mind at all times and treat every meeting with loved ones as if there won't be another one. Live like they or you are dying. Don't take another day for granted.
Psalm 90:12 So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.
Food for thought.
Marty
