If Today Was Your Last Day




I got to thinking about what I would do if I knew I only had one day left to live.  All the people I'd see and the places I'd go.  The food I would eat or the books I would read.  My inspiration was from Nickelback's "If Today Was Your Last Day," hence the title of this post.  I encourage you to play this video.  It's a great song with a great message.  Basically, it says to do what you want with your life right now.  Don't just cruise along and hope it turns out right.  There's no second chances, so live like there's no tomorrow.  But we don't ever to die.  We live to please and have fun.  We prepare for the future and sometimes fail to live in the moment.  I'm not telling you to quit school and never think about things, but just live a little.  Do some things that make you smile and don't regret them.  It'll always be worth the price.  So what would I do if there was only one more day?

Honestly, I would start off the day thinking about how I only have one day left of my life.  Then, I would dig out all the money I had and give it to a local charity.  I would call up all my friends, or go talk to them myself and tell them what they mean to me.  I wouldn't want to go anywhere big on my last day.  I would just end up spending a bunch of time in the car/plane.  I would go and tell everyone about how Jesus loves everyone and hope that they'd spread the news when I left.  I would go through all of my old pictures and take in every moment of my life just once more.  Then, run around outside barefoot.  Run around on the pine needles and hot cement.  Take a short dip in the pool and run around a while.  I would eat some of my favorite foods and spend some time with my family.  Of course, I would thank God for that last day and prepare to come into his kingdom.  Read some of my favorite versus in the Bible and enjoy his creations.  Listen to my favorite music.  Pretty much, do everything  that makes me happy I'm alive.  I would also call up all of my enemies and forgive them.  Tell them I am sorry for what I may have say to them and hope for forgiveness in return.  All that in one day.  What would you do?
