Wake Up

Have you ever woken up and wondered were it all has gone? I am talking about time, one day you are twenty years old and think you have all the time in the world to accomplish all the wonderful things a twenty year old dreams about doing. Then life seems to get in the way and you make choices to go down that road and take that fork along the way and all the sudden you are now fifty years old and looking back you ask yourself where did it all go? Time, the precious commodity that you can never get back. I spent my first fifty years pleasing myself and and accomplishing very little that I can truly pass along as my legacy. My children deserve better than just a piece of land, a few dollars or some cloths, they should be able to see the accomplishments of a person who lived to make a difference. I looked through a few blog friends of my wife's, this morning and came across one with an obituary of her granny, I wondered what people would put in mine, maybe he lived a so-so life, touched very few and died from selfishness? I believe in a future blog I am going to try to write my own obituary. I will write it the way I would like it to read and then for the very, very short time I have left on this earth, I hope I can please God by living it out.
