Live like there is no tomorrow   (3 views) Tuesday, 08 April 2008

I stayed up late with Trent last night after coming home from my Bible Study Fellowship class and this morning I am paying for it.  I am SO exhausted; my eyes are burning from lack of shut eye and I'm having difficulty thinking straight.  Making Emily's lunch this morning was a challenge! She has the messiest peanut butter sandwhich and I had to re-make her apple juice sippy cup to dilute it or else deal with the effects of full strength apple juice on a toddler's system.  Good grief!  I have been grumbling to myself all morning about why I let my dh talk me into staying up late with him watching a movie I would have rather not have wasted 2 hours of sleep on.  Police officers watch the most violent movies and of course it doesn't bother them a bit.  Their wife, however, would rather not know about that violent stuff so she can sleep at night when her dh is out on the street working! 

But, as I was grumbling I heard the radio say that we have a 70% chace of strong, serious spring time storms tonight (in Texas this means maybe tornadoes and hail).  Great!  Trent has to work tonight out in that mess AGAIN.  And then I thought of something we talked about in my Bible study last night.  We were discussing the end times and one of our questions was: How would you live your life differently if you knew Jesus was returning this week?  And I thought to myself that if something were to happen to Trent tonight at work on the street in these storms, I will be glad I stayed up late with him.  The lesson I have learned from this is that sometimes you have to live like there is no tomorrow, but when tomorrow comes you have to get up and get on with your life!  Suddenly, I didn't feel like grumbling any more.
