Do Not Waste This Breath

When the spirit departs,

Only a shell remains,

Once a protector, sometimes a pro tester,

Now devoid of life, leaving an empty shell.

Dust we come,

And dust we must go,

What lies ahead,

No one knows,

When we depart.

We hope to reunite with our loved ones

Live! Live! Live your life,

Embrace each moment,

Love each other,

For our time is fleeting,

Whatever your beliefs,

Every day a gift,

Be better each day,

Uplift and love each other,

We may not see another,

Make a difference,

No matter how small,

Whenever,

You get a chance to be kind,

Please do it!

We have Angels,

Walking around us,

Some,

Will never know,

What they did or said,

A smile, a hug, a kind word,

That’s all it took,

To change someone’s day,

Or ultimately their life

Anyone can make a difference.

One of the benefits of the time change is the evening are longer. While enjoying one of these evenings I took a ride around the neighborhood and this gentleman was on the sidewalk with this sign. He stood on the bicycle path, so I came off the sidewalk and rode past him. As I did , I tried to read what was written on his sign. I wondered what he wanted to tell me.

It intrigued me so I turned the bicycle around and stopped him. I learned that he and his wife are from Egypt, and they are Christians and have been in the US for over ten years. He wanted to tell everyone he encountered the good news about salvation and that we are entering the end times were here.

Even though he speaks very little English and elderly he still is making a difference. He inspired me; I’ll remind myself when I have the next pity party (wondering why I am here and can I make a difference). That I should get up and show up and do my small part to make a difference in someone’s life today. Be blessed.
