I awoke this morning, as did you, to the news of the shooting at a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of those killed and injured in this horrific event. Seeing the video, hearing the discussions, one thing came to mind, and in fact, was emphasized in President Obama's statement: life is uncertain. The President talked about hugging our kids and spending time with our loved ones. These are important things but often are neglected or pushed aside due to the busyness of our schedules. I want to encourage you today to TAKE TIME.
James wrote these words: "Why you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while then vanishes." James 4:14, NIV
We do not know what the next moment holds. We are not guaranteed our next breath. Too many times the focus of life is about accomplishments, upon attaining financial goals or public accolades. The most important thing in life is relationship--relationship with our family and relationship with God. Take this day to reflect upon your mortality and the . Pick up the phone and call your family. Hug your spouse and kids. Invest in those relationships. And most importantly, talk to your Creator. Invest in that relationship. For you and I do not know when we will move from this life into eternity.
