Experience

We all have different experiences in life! Some are good and some are bad. Some hurt us and some make us stronger. Some would say that when a grandparent dies it would just make it harder and hurt all the children impacted. But, I'm speaking from experience when I say it makes you stronger. This summer my grandfather died. He battled with cancer for two years, but that's not what killed him. In a way it did because it made him weak and caused him to fall. A fall is what killed him. He hit the right place in his head.

When you see that happen, it scares you. It makes you realize that you really don't have to be sick to die. All it takes is a fall. So, does that scare you? That's why christians ask the question, do you know without a doubt if you died today that you would go to Heaven?. That's an important question to ask yourself because yea, God is a merciful God, but why should he give you a chance after you die to go to Heaven when he has given you to many to count on earth? He shouldn't, that's the answer.

He wants all his creation, humans, to honor him and glorify him. He made us in his own image and put us on a beautiful earth and one, we are destroying it, two, we obviously don't appreciate it. How can we be so ungrateful to a God so loving? It doesn't make any sense at all.

So, are you gonna live life for God instead of for yourself.

While my pawpaw's death hurt my mimi so bad, she is still trusting God and still has faith in him. So as I am.It hurt me and my family so bad, but in a way it made me stronger. I realize more and more not to take life for granted. I have to stay strong for those around me, especially my mimi.
