If Today Were the Last Day of Your Life
If today were the last day of your life
you wouldn’t spend it fretting in anxiety about an election outcome over which you have no control;
you wouldn’t foment a sense of outrage at people who have the wrong facts, opinions, and ideas;
you wouldn’t frantically refresh your newsfeeds to see what’s changed in the last 4 minutes.
If today were the last day of your life
you’d savor every sip of your coffee;
you’d smile at the sight of every human face, considering it a great privilege just to be in that person’s presence;
and
you’d be grateful to God for every breath you had left.
