To everybody reading this, please hear me when I say this:
\nLife is not promised to us.
\nWe keep thinking we have more time. More time to make the call. More time to apologize. More time to forgive. More time to say, \u201cI love you.\u201d More time to work through the disagreement.
\nBut none of us knows what tomorrow holds.
\nJames 4:14 says:
\n\u201cYet you do not know [the least thing] about what may happen in your life tomorrow. [What is secure in your life?] You are merely a vapor [like a puff of smoke or a wisp of steam from a cooking pot] that is visible for a little while and then vanishes [into thin air].\u201d
\nJames 4:14, AMP
\nPlease don\u2019t let something temporary become a permanent goodbye.
\nMake the call. Say what needs to be said. Give grace. Forgive where you can. Tell people you love them while they are still here to hear it.
\nToday I\u2019m reminded just how precious, fragile, and temporary this life really is.
\nRest peacefully, Janiyah.
\nYou were loved. You were rooted for. And you will be remembered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
