Life is unpredictable

[MaxMan]

Our pastored wife went home to be with the Lord today. She ran 1/2 marathons and was very fit. She was 60. About five weeks ago she went into the ER with leg pains. In tracing the cause they found cancer.
Makes one think about life and how fragile it can be.

As a kid,, I heard an older gent say; "Nobody gets out of life alive. Live life and enjoy every day."

Well, it's been proven time & time again.

We as mere mortals may wonder why good people leave us all too soon, and bad people seem to last forever. But instead of questioning things,, I look at it a little differently.

Sometimes the Good Lord need a good person in Heaven,, and the Devil is overrun with the bad ones.

Condolences to the family!

Hate to hear about both of these. But it's true, you never know. Makes me glad I went to see the grandson today.
My condolences to both of you.

Make each day special because it may be your last. Say something nice to someone or stop to say hello. Be the best person you can be. Kindness is infectious so spread it. Sorry to hear of the losses but remember the good and do something positive in their memory.

Im sorry for you, your pastor, and your church family in this loss, but thankful she has gained her victory in Jesus. Life IS short, whether you live 8 days or 80+ years. The only thing that matters is whether you are prepared for eternity.

Bob, I know you have a few years on most of us. But your ability to say the right thing at the right time is phenomenal. THANK YOU.

My condolences. I worked in the nursing home field for over 20 years before I retired, and some lessons were very clear. I can't tell you how many of the elderly that we took care of said that they had always planned on using their hard saved funds for some good times, like lengthy vacations or that fancy car that they always had wanted. But it never seemed the right time to them, and suddenly they had a stroke, or severe heart attack, or cancer or Alzheimer's and now they their funds were paying for a nice room in a nursing home instead of something fun. And no matter how old the person was, looking back they almost always felt that life was too short. I knew an old gentleman who was 102, and as I sat with him during his last hours, he looked up at me and said "It all went by so fast" shortly before he passed.

I envy those of you that truly believe that there is some sort of existence after death. I can't help but feel that essentially we are just another species of animal and that our lives and deaths have no more significance in the long run than does that squirrel climbing in the tree outside of my kitchen. I fear that when we die we just go dark and wink out of existence so getting the most out of life while we have it is about the best one can do.

I was in a band a few years ago. The drummer and his wife were very active She was more of a runner than him. She worked out and ran every marathon available to her. One night as she sat in her easy chair to watch a movie she experienced a severe stroke that left her unable to walk with out a walker.

Our family friend who went to the gym every week day before the sun came up got up in the middle of the night to pee. His wife found him dead early the next morning. This guy ate right worked hard and stayed fit. but...

There are so many stories like this, including my brother. You just never know...

Life is a gift - that's why they call today the present.
