WHAT IF YOUR HEART STOPPED BEATING?



Think of it this way...

You find yourself looking down at YOU.  Heart stopped and you get to do a "George Bailey" overview of where you are.  Where you stand.  What your life sums up to.

Would that be a frightening picture?

For some it might, but let's take the snapshot...

Maybe it can be a wonderful picture of what you've done RIGHT NOW.  Not looking solely at your past, but taking in the picture of today's accomplishments, triumphs, defeats; battles won and lost.

Would you change anything?

One day life will end for each and every one of us.  It's not a fear thing, but it is one of those mysteries that we don't control if we allow life to flow.  I woke up one morning and found myself living like I was already dead, and that is a dark depression that is not easily overcome.  I found myself so miserable and alone I didn't enjoy life - I didn't laugh - I didn't sing.

I did have that opportunity to look down at ME.  I missed my kids.  I wanted some sort of twisted relationship with my folks.  I hated my wife.  I was a wreck.  And I couldn't continue on like that.

IF THIS IS IT, TODAY, THEN I WANT TO KNOW THAT I GAVE IT EVERYTHING THAT I HAVE!

What if you lived everyday as if your heart had stopped...

Could the thought of this moment being your last change your life?  One moment at a time?!
