I decided to go and take pictures in a grave yard and while I was doing so,
it made me think about life alot and then how so many people have already lived
their lives and have passed away now and that someday we also will do the same.

As I walked around and noticed the large number of graves.
I wondered how many of those people would've changed something
about their lives if they had known they were fixing to die.

What if, instead of causing others pain, hurting them and doing bad things,
what if they could only go back and do good things and help people and have
given themselves honor and glory, instead of die in shame and pity.
But there are many laying there in their graves who died with a burden they
never could get rid of, because they never seen their last breath coming.
They waited too long, taking tomorrow for granted and it never came for them.

As I thought about that, I knew I would never want to live my life and waste it like that. I knew I wanted to make as big of an impact on this world and in peoples lives I could possibly make. I wanted to show the world that one person can make a huge difference when they have a huge heart and try their best to do what's right and to teach others how to have a good life, even though we live it in such a horrible world.

When you think about death and how little this life really means once you
are no longer living, it makes you wonder if you're wasting your life
or if you're putting the little time we're here on this earth to a good cause.

When it comes right down to it, there's only one thing that really matters in this life and that's were do you stand with God and what have you done for Him during the time you were here on earth?

Because once we leave this life, we will have to answer to Him for what we have done in this life and hopefully we'll have plenty to be commended for instead of alot to be ashamed of. The thing that saddens me is the thought of how many have died and refused to believe in God. I can bet they have no doubt about Him now. It's just sad to see someone learn that lesson the hard way and loose their chance to make it right. Ya know, when we look back on our lives, we can quickly realize that it is our nature to be stubborn about things and how our stubborness has only done us more harm than good. Why is it though, out of all of the things to be stubborn about, some choose to be stubborn about God? It's not difficult or hard. It's very simple, yet some still refuse. Some turn down the promise of a better life after this one is over.

So now as I finish up with my thoughts, I'd like to ask you something. What is it you are living for? What good are you doing with your life? What are those who are still here once you're gone going to remember about you? And more importantly than anything, what are you going to have to show for when you stand before God?
