WHAT IF?

Question:What if you found out you only had about a year to live? What would you do with that time left?


(it's just a question)

I would pray harder for people's salvation. I would have a better and kinder attitude. I would tell my family that I loved them more often and show it by self sacrifition. I would pray that I would burn so brightly for God that people would say of me as they did of others, "She burned so brightly for God she burned right out into glory." I would want people to remember me as a follower of Jesus Christ my Savior and Lord the only Son of God. I once heard a persecuted brother say, "It's easier to die for Christ...it's the living for Him that's hard." He's right. I can only live for Christ by His strength and when He calls me home it will be upon His righteouness I lay.

I would try to contact all those whom I've shared the gospel with in the past just to make sure they understood everything I've shared with them.

Hi Sarah and Mark,
I guess the reason I asked this question was because I was thinking about it myself. What if I only had that short of time left or even less, what would I do?
And then I thought why wait until this ever happens. Great answers!

I know I would try to reach as many people for Christ as I could. I don't do as much as I should now. This poses a great question and something to really think about!! Thanks for making us think and ponder on this.

I would set my VW Bug on fire just for the pleasure of watching it burn!

Not to sound too biblical or spiritual as most of the time I aint or is it isn't. I would live life just as I do now. Jesus said, "Take no thought for tomorrow, Press on etc." God is sovereign and whether it be one day, one month or one year. He knows when I will leave. Good question though honey, whats for supper.

I hope I would spend it profitably. I hope I would not be bitter or angry for having to die. I hope I would lose all fear and preach the truth with boldness. I hope I would make sure and be reconciled with everyone.
I KNOW I would eat all the chocolate I wanted to and not worry about my diet!!!!

don't think I'd do a whole lot different than what I do now. Probably hold my boy and hubby closer. Find ways to make it easier for Jim to raise my boy child on his own... man..that would be tough.

Not a good thing to contemplate! :)
