Putting off what you can do today.

Majority of people have a list of things that needs to be done. It seems like that list gets bigger and bigger and things that you already written on the list never got to so you add more chores to it. Looking at your list, saying repeatably to yourself this needs to be done that needs to be done or I am gone to have to get to that soon or later. I, myself have a list of chores or other things that I want to do and get them done, accomplish to complete what I started but I never do but I am good adding more chores to the list. One day I look at the list and there was a chore I wrote on the list I wrote a year ago. Finally when a list I write maybe one or up to five chores or things that need to be done. I work getting those five things done first then start a new list. One day said to myself I don’t know why I write a list of chores if I am not going to be faithfully get to them. Thinking silently, talking to the Lord I come realize not to depend on tomorrows because tomorrows may never come. God says; nobody knows the hour or day when I shall come. Oh how true that is. When I heard the news that my sister was very ill and admitted to the hospital and finding out she was dying from cancer I was shocked. See I kept putting it off going to visit her more often. I told myself and even mentioned it to my husband, we have to go and visited my sister one day and spend some quality time with her but that day never came because I kept putting it off. Then finally it was to late, before I knew Peg was gone she lost her battle to cancer but the four months that she was still with us I tried to make up for lost time. After she went on to be with the Lord, I cried but I also felt guilty, I even wished and have said if only God gave me a little more time with her. I did however visited Peg a year before she went to be with the Lord but only by my younger sister’s request, see Peg called our younger sister and asked if she could bring pickle juice over I don’t recall what my younger sister’s response was to Peg but it ended up my husband and I took the pickle juice over to her. Seeing her I had a gut feeling she was ill for she was so thin. I spent a few hours with her then had to start my journey home for we had a few hour drive to get home. That day I told sis I love her. If she ever needs anything just pick up the phone and call me. I did not expect the call saying she was dying. I ask the Lord forgive me for what I could of done that day and I could of spend more quality time with her but guess what I put it off for tomorrow and tomorrow never came for sis was gone. Now today I have learned from this mistake, today I call my younger sister every day, just to ask her how her day went or just to hear her voice and knowing she is okay. We pray together, we cry together, laugh together and make fond memories and we even talk about old memories.
