Keith Green - Oh Lord, You're Beautiful

THIS IS SO TRUE!

I read of a man, who stood at a funeral, to speak of a friend.
He referred on the dates on the tombstone...from the beginning, to the end.

He noted that....first came the date of birth....then a "dash" then the date of death, of which he spoke.....with tears in his eyes.

But, he said....what mattered most...was the "dash" in between the two dates.

1934 - 2009

For that 'dash' represented all the years that were spent alive...on earth.
And now, only those who loved her, know what that little "dash" is worth!

It does not matter how much we have owned,
the car...
the home....
the cash....

What matters is "how we live and love and "how" we spend our "dash"

If we treat each other with respect...
and wear a smile a bit more often....

remembering that this special "dash" might only last a little while.

If we can truly slow down enough to consider what is real and always try to understand....

the way other people feel.....
and be less quick to anger....
and show appreciation more.....
and love the people in our lives
like we've never loved before....

so then...when your eulogy is being read..with your life's action to rehash....
Would you be proud of the things they say, as to "how" you spent your "dash"?

Two university professors wrote a book together called " RARE EARTH"

Both of them said, and I quote....

"Humans are lucky in that, planet earth has just the right conditions for live to have evolved
in what is a protective atmosphere and magnatosphere...etc."

Then they go on the show that, "even our location in the Milky way" has been pretty fortunate
in protecting us from SUPER NOVA

( hmmmm....lucky aren't we??????)

God Bless...
