If each of us could feel so keenly our own mortality, we too could see just how precious every waking moment is. We get bogged down in the daily duties, in conflicts and struggles, often run ragged by our own choices and forget to stop and consider the positive ways we could be impacting the lives of those around us. Death, despite his dark and ever-looming presence over our natural bodies, does good for those who realize he's there. He opens our eyes to the goodness of God, to what "eternal life" truly means for those who believe, and compells us to humbly accept and appreciate all that God provides out of his love for us.
The excerpted words of encouragement are appreciated. I hope your books are equally encouraging and successful.
