A Facebook friend once posted on her timeline what it would be like to die. She was wondering what she'd feel and appear as. She was like facing a vast space asking a question to no one.
Whenever I wake up in the morning (yes, I'm no longer on a night shift job), I thank God for adding another day to my lifetime. I don't know the deadline of my life but each day is made precious because of that awareness. Instead of feeling emptiness, or worse terror of the unknown, I've made it a daily practice to embrace the inevitable and operate with certainty that my day is precious and should be lived with balance.

A lot of people nowadays are moving about with their busy days knowing the inevitable but not embracing it. Only when one becomes so broken in one's life does the realization sink in that it is borrowed, something to be returned. The process of returning becomes profound when you embrace it. It begins to have meaning. And each day starts to have a fulfilling purpose.
Let's ask ourselves: What's our purpose in life? What's my day really for?
2 Corinthians 5:1
We know that our body -- the tent we live in here on earth -- will be destroyed. But when that happens, God will have a house for us. It will not be a house made by human hands; instead, it will be a home in heaven that will last forever.
