Time won’t tell you what will happen next.
No one really knows what will happen next. Next hour, tomorrow, the next day or even now, there’s no person in the world who can tell you exactly what will happen to you. People who has the ability to predict the future in some way are lets say in some way believable, but still it’s not accurate. Their predictions are not 100% true that it will really happen. Only the Lord knows what will our future will be. He is the only one who can tell if we will still wake up tomorrow or not.
Although we know that our life here on earth is not permanent. That we just borrowed this human life from the heavens, and we know that any moment, and the powerful God above can just easily take this away from our earthly body in a blink of an eye. Some of us still don’t realize how great life is.
I’m writing this topic because of a scenario that just happened with my family last week. My Uncle (Dad’s bro) just passed away last Monday. His death was unexpected; he’s 62 yrs. He spent almost all of his lifetime serving his duty to his fellowmen on his community as a “kagawad”. According to my grandma whom now is 88 yrs old and who’s memory is still vivid. My Uncle had a good reputation on his community, of course by being a public servant all he wanted was a peaceful environment. He had never been in any big row or fight to anyone. Then one night, there’s a man who’s drunk out in the streets making some noise and some things a drunk man was able to do. By his will to make a peaceful night & sleep to his neighborhood, he initiated to approach the drunk man to go home and take a rest because he’s really loud and annoying. Of course, a drunk man didn’t obey him, instead he bellowed that my uncle was boastful and was trying to prove something which was not true. So, this drunk man grabbed my uncle’s arms and tried to punch him out but my uncle lost his balance and fell of the ground, his head hit the gutter on the left side making him unconscious instantly. That moment, people went out, called ambulance and they hurried my uncle to the nearest hospital, at the hospital my uncle was in “comatose” for a short period of time, and by the hard impact that was incurred on his head and a lot of blood inside his skull (internal hemorrhages). He was declared dead. Although I and my uncle were not that close, I feel so sad of his loss, being an immediate family member it’s natural to feel this way. There are many people who will really miss him so much. Being a second born child in the family, his opinions and advices are seeked and respected. Grandma also told me that the day before my uncle passed away he told her that he had a dream about my dad, the he and my dad are talking somewhere and he saw their father (grandpa) as well.
Therefore, we are not the one who makes the world go round. God above indeed is the one responsible for all the things that’s happening. It’s unbelievable because He’s only one and he manages to run billions of lives here on earth. So much power that no one can have than Him. Impossible for us, but in Him all things are possible.
This made me realize more that, nothing is more fun than enjoying every minute of your life, cherish each and every blessing you receive. Helping others in the way you can, Showing love in your own means, and being grateful for every second you had in this planet.
