Life

Just 3 short weeks ago we moved Everett's uncle Melvin into his brand new assistant living quarters here at our local care home. We hung pictures, mirrors, beautiful cabinet in the bathroom, he got a new bed, dresser, and chair..everything put away and we anxiously awaited for his recovery for him to see it..if you remember he got sick and went to the hospital the day we moved him into his brand spankin new apartment...Monday this week was his funeral...last night Everett and I went and packed everything up, took everything off the walls that hung there for 3 weeks w/o Uncle Melvin ever seeing what it looked like...it made me really sad....made me ponder....made me want to live everyday like it might be my last...but each day we can get so caught up in the routine things of the day..we forget..we go on...we always think oh there is always tomorrow, if we don't call those, visit those, or tell those we love, that we love them...then one day it's all over...
Uncle Melvin's daughter got up and talked about 20 minutes about her dad and what his life meant to her and what kind of man he really was...yes everyone has faults, sins to be forgiven, lots of times we make the wrong choice, but all the same the choices that each of us are given, and it's what we do with those choices that eventually will determine what others will say about us when our time here is up,and where we will spend all eternity...the choice is ours...no one elses just ours..
Uncle Melvin made his choice and he chose Jesus..he told us that the night before he died...
This being Easter week..let's reflect on what Jesus did for us..and what that means for us that have received Him as savior
John 14:6 I am the way the truth and the light NO ONE comes to the Father except through me...
