¶Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him.
For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.
But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children;
To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them. Psalm 103:13-18
"This" Day
What would you do with "this" day if you knew it were your last?
Would you reflect upon those folks you've injured in your past?
How would you prepare to leave this earthly realm behind?
Would you set things in motion so order they would find?
Would you think to view the sunset, the last one you would see?
Would you consider touching grass, the earth, perhaps a tree?
Would you drink in all GOD'S great gifts that HE allowed to be?
Would you cling to mental pictures you've retained in memory?
Would you take a breath, and savor it, tasting GOD'S sweet air?
Would you recall your blessings GOD allowed for you to share?
Would you appreciate the many times GOD saved you from a fall?
Would you consider "why" HE did it or would you care at all?
Would you be angry of the fact that now you have to leave?
Would you waste time in feeling sorry... would you take time to grieve?
Would you treasure final minutes when you feel your time here wane?
Would you resent the sobering fact you'll not pass this way again?
Would you spend time remaining to thank GOD for what HE'S done?
Would you remember at that time that GOD had sent HIS SON?
Would you then be grateful... Would you then not feel so grim?
Would you then recall your destination... eternity with HIM?
Would you kneel in adoration, appreciation deep inside?
Would you be grateful for your JESUS? With HIM you'll now abide.
