If today were the last day of your life, would you want to do what you are about to do today?

If I knew I had only one day to live, I would hope that nothing would change from my daily activities, growing in my relationship with Jesus, fight personal struggles, spend time with my family and more.  I had such a hard time answering this question at first, that in a good 30 minutes of writing and rewriting and not being able to come up with a solid answer,  I finally decided to look on Google and see what people were saying.  Two people’s comments stuck out to me and they were comments such as, “I would do what I normally do. I try to live as if its my last day!” and “I would LIVE!”.  Why do we normally say we would do something more on our last day than what we would normally do?  I find that disheartening.  As I kept thinking about those comments, I wanted to make sure my life for Jesus was mixed in there.  So I would answer this question with, “The same thing I do everyday, I would keep striving for perfection, trying to be like Jesus”. 

Sure, I may change up some of my activities that center my life around family and close friends.  I probably wouldn’t be blogging, or planning to watch a movie someone let me borrow while my wife is at work, or my in-laws doing their own thing or that my blood family would be around the world.  I would spend time with them (but hopefully I am doing that already [with the help of technology also]). 

I pray that if I ever know, that I am giving God the glory in everything I do and say.  I want my life to be what God wants it to be. I don’t want to say, “I am going to do more for God”.  I want my life to reflect that already.  Am I fighting the good fight? Am I spending time with family and friends? Am I shining the light of Jesus in a dark world? Whatever it is that I do, I hope that I can come to my last day and say, “I am proud of who I am and what I’ve become and what I have done!”

So would I do anything different?  As long as Jesus is my center, than no!
