No Regrets

As I sat on the couch in the living room, I began to think about life and how it goes by in a flash. And what would I do if death came knocking right then and there. Had I made amends with the creator? Am I a woman of integrity? Would I plead for my life and beg for more time? Did I have any regrets? Did I live my life to the fullest? Did I rebuild the bridges that I’ve burned? I realized at that very moment that I fell short. I haven’t lived my life to the fullest; I haven’t lead a noble and just live. Death is an appointment that I can't cancel. I started to rack my brain, wondering what to do; as the tears began to flow, I thought, about how unpredictable life is? It takes many turns. Each day we live, we are close to death. In an instance, my answer came through my tears. I had gotten a breakthrough. As long as I have life in me, I must focus on the things that matter most. Live each day as though it was my last, aim to live a life free of regrets. 4-29-2021

The tax collector stood in the back of the temple and prayed: Lord have mercy on me a sinner." Jesus declared him justified.
