Life is Way Too Short

"Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself; each day has enough trouble of its own." (Matthew 6:34)

A friend sent me some thoughts entitled "Things That Life Is Too Short For." His thoughts forced me to take a look at my own life and reevaluate my priorities. Perhaps you need a dose of reality today. I'll share these special thoughts with you, can you guess which ones I added to the list?

Life is too short to hold grudges or nurse hurt feelings.

It's too short to work at a job you hate.It's too short to worry about getting ready for Christmas. Just let Christmas come.(Remember this one for next year ;)

It's too short to forget to pray.

It's too short to keep all your floors shiny. It's too short to let a day pass without hugging your loved ones.

It's too short not to take a nap when you need one.

It's too short to put off Bible study.

It's too short to give importance to whether the towels match the bathroom.

It's too short to miss the call to worship on a Sunday morning. *(What church do you attend regularly, where is it located, I want to visit?)

It's too short to stay indoors on a beautiful Saturday.

It's too short not to stop and talk to children.

It's too short to read all the junk mail. It's too short not to call or write your parents (or children) regularly.

It's too short to put off improving our relationships with people that we love. Life is just too short. Way too short to settle for mediocrity!

GOING DEEPER:

1. What does Matthew 6:34 tell us not to do? 2. Matthew 6:34 also tells us today will have enough trouble of its own. What difficulties will you face today? Take a moment to pray and ask God to take control of your day and any difficulties you may face, YOU WILL BE GLAD YOU DID.
