Death Has Plucked My Ear
"Death has plucked my ear & said 'Live for I am truly coming'”. That is one of my favorite life quotes…
As another year comes to an end – for me it’s time to reflect on both the year & life itself…What did I plan on having accomplished…What stones are left unturned…What goals are unmet…What plans are unfinished…etc…
Perhaps more importantly – asking myself what dreams are fading away…what big ticket items are getting further from the realm of possibility…is the vision still clear…am I still on the path that leads to finishing well…
For me – there seems to be this constant tension between what is & what can be…Everyday I have to rise above the path of comfort & ease & walk the path less traveled…For it’s there that I find the greatest satisfactions…feelings of accomplishment…insights of God…Destiny of my life…
As I walk this life out – I must remember that one day – for one reason or another - I won’t be able to accomplish some of those things – so what I am to do I must do quickly – for death is surely coming…
John 10:10

John 10:10-my life verse.
As it says He came that we would life more to the full. So I try to make sure that each day I live like there is no tomorrow and enjoy it because like you said, one day it will all be over and all we have to leave is our example and how we lived each day.
PB,
Thanks for the comments. I am trying to reflect on this past year to. What goals have been met, what hasn't. This year has been crazy. Not sure if dreams are reality or fading in the distance. As I get older they seem to fade and are becoming less of a reality. I know that it is a fight to the finish though.
I am looking forward and trying to stay focused.
Thanks for the comments.
