Dying to Live
I went to mass at Greenbelt chapel in Makati last Monday and was inspired by the homily of the priest. He shared a story about dying to accomplish something before we can finally enjoy our life. Dying to finish studies and then dying to get married - dying to have a child - dying to enjoy our life when our child or children grow up - dying to retire from our present work and then finally dying….
The homily is simple but striking. When will you finally live? Is it when we are able to accomplish our goals or now, wherever we are, whatever our present status is. Choosing to live is a decision, yet we sometimes forget and finally become sorry when we get old and do not have the opportunity to accomplish the things that we want to because it has already passed by. This is so because we choose of dying for something and forget to live in the present. Let each day count and thank God for each new day.
Savor today as if it is one of the most special day of our lives.
Have a nice day.
God bless,
