If Today Was Your Last

How would you be remembered?

If Today Was Your Last

What if today was your last? What if you didn’t wake up in the morning or got into a car wreck on the way home from work? How would you be remembering here on Earth? Did you have a servant’s heart or did you only care about yourself? Your time on Earth is just a blip on the radar and your time beyond that is eternal. Where will you spend your time after Earth?

The Earth has been around for roughly 4.5 billion years and the average life expectancy of a human is 71 years. So, in reality, your life isn’t long at all and you will be forgotten about 50 years after your death. That doesn’t mean that what you left on Earth will be forgotten.

Jesus calls us to be disciples for Him. When you bring others to Christ, you are leaving your mark on this world forever. The people of this world will not know this, but God will, and that is all that really matters. When you bring someone to Christ, they will go and tell of His word to lead others to the Father as well.

This is also true with your actions. Everything you do on this Earth, so turn around and give glory to God. Have you ever done anything good without expecting a reward in return? The best deeds are done when no one is watching, when there is nobody there to pat you on the back and say, “good job”; these are the things that are truly done with a servant’s heart!

So, if today was your last, would you leave your mark on it? Did you have a servant’s heart? Did you disciple others and bring them to the Father? When people look at you, is there something different? Look at your life and ask yourself if this is the life you want to be living. If not, change it! It honestly is that easy. You should change because you never know if it will be your last day on Earth.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
