I went to the doctor’s office the other day for some routine checkups. The doctor found something he was curious about so he decided to run some tests. Well we got the results back this week and they basically come down to this quote of the doctor, “you only have one month to live.” It floored me. How could I be so young and have so many more years to live and receive such news as this. I was devastated. My wife was devastated. What were going tell our family? How would we tell them? We know it won’t be easy.
The previous story is only fiction for me. But for others it is a complete reality. What would you do if you received this news? Where would you run? Or hide? How would live out your last month on this planet? Would you travel to exotic places? Would you skydive or complete some other over the top adventure? Would you concentrate on mending relationships and building back bridges you have burned? What would you do?
After spending time talking with people who have experienced such drama in their life I have come to a conclusion: they almost always say that the last part of their life, their last month, is the sweetest month they have ever lived. You know why? Because they have shifted their focus to things that never pass away. They took their eyes off of attaining material things and put their focus on healing their relationships and living their life as though today was the last day. It got me to thinking. What would I do? Not only that, but how could help other people live their life as though they were dying?
Well, Jenn and I want to invite you to our home for dinner while we and other people discuss and share our feelings on this subject. We are going to find out how we should be living our lives daily to get the most benefit . We will be playing some games, having dinner, and learning how to live our best life now. Childcare is provided. All we ask is that you RSVP. We will be meeting every Tuesday evening at 7pm starting Sept 9. We look forward to having everybody that is able to attend. Please call or email me with your RSVP.
