Each Day a Step Towards Eternity

A quote from Catherine;

Each day is a step we make towards eternity; and we shall continue thus to step from day to day until we take the last step, which will bring us into the presence of God.

If we could, but live each day as if it were the last, what changes we would make in our lives! Some would connect with broken relationships, others put their house and finances in order and others would finally live with freedom and do risky things they only dreamed to do. What would you do if today were your last day? Perhaps for someone who is reading this, it will truly be your last day on earth. How are you going to live today?

For me, if my day is filled with care and concern for others and my room is half-way cleaned (dream on!), then I am ready! I'll let others clean up after me! I have my will, my advanced directives and my funeral and wake services on file.

But I do have unfinished work. I want to finish a quilt, finish the poetry book I started this morning , finish my ministry and finish a couple of other sewing projects and catalog some of my "stuff' for family. Yes, there is a lot to do and today I will start on it as if my days are numbered. They are you know. God has them numbered for me and for you. We just don't know what the number is and so we need to live our life as each day is a step toward eternity and eternal happiness with God.
