They didn’t do so to be morbid but to remind themselves that life on this earth is relatively short in comparison to eternity. Mike and I do think about all that, as well. Naturally speaking, we have quite a bit of longevity in our families but we know that our days were numbered from eternity past. So however many years God gives us, we want to spend them serving Him. And our prayer is that we would finish well.

I think it’s important and healthy to remember that I am temporary , to picture a world without me.

I’ve found it to be a wonderful reminder of how I want to live my life: “Allow me, Lord, to bequeath a fragrant trail of love leading to You . . . Help me to do what You ask, and not miss a God-opportunity.” Isn’t that good?!

I find that unsettling. But the other day a friend said, ‘we’re that much closer to heaven.’

And that put it all in perspective.

I know those tables do not tell me exactly how long I have to live, but taking assessment of how much time is behind, and how much time I may have helps me to define my life values and make a shift if I must!
