Day Twenty Two - How Many Sundays Left

The average life expectancy of an American male is 76.  On average, an American female lives to 81.  How many Sundays do I have left?  What will I do with the Sundays I do have left?

Don’t waste a single Sunday.  If I don’t waste Sundays, I will be less likely to waste Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays.

It’s easy to waste life.  We tend to waste life in moments.

When I think about it, people don’t change that much.  Do I know anyone in my life who has really changed their life?  Anyone you has gone down a radically different path?  It doesn’t happen that often but should happen more often that it does.

The reason it doesn’t happen is because we’re incredibly comfortable with wasting life…wasting an hour here, wasting a day there, wasting a week. But the day is today.  Go out and get it!  Don’t waste a single moment today.  Don’t worry about tomorrow or the next day, the next week , the next year…just today.

Get out there, get a hold of life.  Don’t waste a single moment today.

If I had one Sunday left, what would I do?

Focus:

Life is short.  Never waste a day.

Act:

Based on actuarial estimates, how many Sundays do I have left.

Pray:

God, I know every moment is a gift.  Help me to break through resistance when I am tempted to waste the time you have given me.



Amen.
