Death creeps ever closer. The past month has brought news of friends and family who have gotten “the bug” as my mom refers to COVID or who have had a loved one die from contracting COVID. So much sorrow, so much loss, so much pain.
The truth is that every day Death creeps closer for each of us. We can be fearful, we can deny that truth, we can be angry. None of those things will slow the steady march of time.
So then, how shall we live? We get to choose. We perhaps should consider every interaction and how it affects others and how it affects us. Too often I’ve allowed anger and fear and selfishness to rule what I say and do. Too often I have hurt those I love the most.
I can be better than that. But not through my own power or strength.
Lord God, I want to live in such a way that when I face You, I will hear, “well done, good and faithful servant”.
