Lord good morning :)
Last night I read a book, "A Perfect Day" by Richard Evans, about a man whose life was transformed because he thought he was dying. The book made me cried so many times. It made me feel horrible that I didn't cherish and love the people around me wholeheartedly. Life can end unexpectedly, and I don't want any regrets. I think the author is a Christian, because he said we need to have a good relationship with God; he wrote many other books that focused on inspiring and healing people. I think I found my favorite writer~~
After reading the book I wrote a letter to my Dad. Mom has told me to write to him ever since I got into college, but I never got to it. " We do not neglect others because we have ceased to love; rather we cease to love others because we have neglected them." (A Perfect Day, pg120) I was heartbroken when I read this, because in many ways I have neglected my family at Taiwan, including my Dad. Lord, thank You for bringing this book into my life at just the right time.
This morning I turned to read Psalms 39, and verses 4 and 5 stunned me: David said, "Show me, O LORD, my life's end and the number of my days; let me know how fleeting is my life. You have made my days a mere hand breadth; the span of my years is as nothing before You. Each man's life is but a breath."
Oh. My. LORD!! I just read a book about how fragile life is and the very next day the Lord confirmed again that I need to cherish every moment of life. WOW, this is so cool! Lord thank You for speaking to me so many times, in similar situations like this, through the Word!
