LIFE IS SHORT!

Just heard about an hour ago that Jackie Chan is dead!! I quickly rushed to get my laptop and went online to check.....thank God it is only a hoax!! I was just thinking....so sad that he had to die so young (not too old!) and he does seem a very nice man....and I love his funny movies! But I was thinking (yes, I do think a lot!)..... people die, all of a sudden, and it is a shock because it probably was unexpected.
My dear Pingku ('ku' stands for aunty from my father's side) passed away suddenly on the 8th September 2013. It was a shock to all of us as there was no indication that she would leave us all so suddenly. But it happens all the time to people we do not expect to die - either so young, or so suddenly, without any indication. Life is indeed short. At Pingku's funeral, the pastor shared about her and the wonderful person that she was. More important of all, she knows the Lord and gave her life to Him in 2000. The pastor spoke on the reality of death, and that many times we do not think of death and the hereafter because we think we will not leave earth so soon. But we were challenged to look into this....that life is indeed short, and how we live now, the decisions that we make, determines where we go.
What do we want to leave behind? Would we be found faithful to our God? What would we leave behind for our children? May we be found always faithful to our Lord, and leaving a legacy of faithfulness. Enjoy this song........FIND US FAITHFUL
FIND US FAITHFULWe're pilgrims on the journey of the narrow roadAnd those who've gone before us line the wayCheering on the faithful, encouraging the wearyTheir lives a stirring testament to God's sustaining grace
Surrounded by so great a cloud of witnessesLet us run the race not only for the prizeBut as those who've gone before usLet us leave to those behind usThe heritage of faithfulness passed on through godly lives
CHORUS:Oh may all who come behind us find us faithfulMay the fire of our devotion light their wayMay the footprints that we leaveLead them to believeAnd the lives we live inspire them to obeyOh may all who come behind us find us faithful
After all our hopes and dreams have come and goneAnd our children sift through all we've left behindMay the clues that they discover and the memories they uncoverBecome the light that leads them to the road we each must find
