If I Had Thirty Days to Live by Kathy Taylor

If I had thirty days to live I would spend every moment with my family, make peace with my enemies, and have alot of talks with God.
Family is the most important part of my life. I would spend time talking and sharing our most memorable times together. My dad has a collection of slides from when I was growing up and our family vacations. It would takes hours to view the slides but every slide has a memory. I would spend one-on-one time with my sister. Our relationship is very limited to emotions. We love each other and would do for one another yet there is no communication between us. We have nothing in common and that always sadden me. I yearned for a relationship with her yet she pushed me so far away that eventually time slipped away. I would spill my heart to her and open myself up to her and beg for her love and acceptance. That would be such a victory in the last days of my life. My children Nathan, Nicole, and Natalie and her husband Josh, my grandchildren Daylin and Peyton are the joy of my life. My heart bubbles over with pride and joy. Then there is my wonderful husband and best friend. I would spend every second with him inhaling every breath he exhales. He is my soul mate and best friend. We would spend hours talking, holding hands, and laying beside each other so I could smell every scent of his body. Even though when I am gone from this world I will love him throughout eternity.
Enemies, I do not like the word! I am a very fortunate person because I do not have many enemie at all. I can only think of two in my life. I believe forgiveness is a priorty in life. I would get in touch with the two persons and meet with them and as their forgiveness. We would talk straight up and from our hearts. Hopefully, we both can part with love in our hearts.
Lastly, which to me is the most important is my conversations with my Lord. He is the only one who can comfort me in my last days of life. I have security knowing I will go home with Him. I am human and I fear the unknown. When those anxious times would overcome me I can look up knowing God has me wrapped in His arms. I am thankful I have the faith in knowing my jouney through death ends at the gates of Heaven opened wide waiting for me to enter and take my Lord’s hand.
