As we walked away from the funeral home, my heart was breaking. I knew she was no longer suffering but it still made no sense to me. How could someone so young and so beautiful inside and out just be gone… in the blink of an eye.
But life is like that. We are here one moment and gone the next moment. So I do not want to preach but please, be ready. Be ready to meet your Lord. Whatever you believe, be prepared.
Ask forgiveness, apologise, be grateful, be kind, be honorable, love completely, show your appreciation, make someone smile, be kind to a stranger, and help someone out. But be prepared. Most of all do not forget to tell those you love what they mean to you.
And be prepared. Make that will so that your loved ones are taken care of. Do what you need to do to be prepared. That moment comes when we all close our eyes here in this world and open them up in the next. Be prepared. Life changes in a heartbeat. Be prepared.
