Whenever I hear the word death I am reminded of the people close to me who went away to be with the Lord. Its something I subconsciously recollect but its because of the strong bond I had with them while they were alive. We don’t always get to choose our best moments neither are we always ready when tragedy strikes a person we love. These are things and instances which might happen when we least expect it and are least prepared for it. The things which we do today are the memories for the future. I won’t always be here neither will the ones I love be always with me. Something I realized is that I may get to choose my own moments but I wont get o choose my future. When you do good for a person, will make you feel good inside. If you do something worthwhile today, that will be your reward for your future. One basic truth is that we are often driven by what we think is right. But often things does not happen as we assume it to be. This goes on to show that the human mind often emphasizes on what could be done tomorrow rather than what needs what to be done today. One thing we have to keep in mind is that, we can’t always have it our way. Because all that we are is by His grace, and all that we will be is in His hands. We don’t know when our lives will end, neither will we know when our loved ones will be taken away from us. Life is just a journey and the journey ends when our soul is separated from our body.

I keep remembering the words of my mom which she often says, “that our stay here on earth is only for a while, do good while you can and live in harmony with everyone because we never know when our time will come.” this pearl of wisdom which she utters always stays in my mind. The words we speak and the deeds we do can either leave us guilt stricken or contented in the coming years. While your parents are here on earth, if you don’t learn to love them now, you will live to hate yourself for your failure to love them while they were alive. If you don’t sow love in time you may reap guilt and remorse in the later stages of your life. It’s what you do now that will determine how you feel in the future.
Occasions like mother’s day and Father’s day are unique in their own ways because it celebrates what they are. The lives of your parents are not in your hands. You may not always get to celebrate these events always. A time will come when you will no longer be able to call them by their name. May be if you don’t get to celebrate this Mother’s day with love and appreciation you may never have another chance to do so. If you don’t learn to do good to them while they are alive, you will find it hard to erase the bitter regrets as you live on.
When you do good for someone today, you will live to cherish the moments you had with the person and the things you did for him or her. When you live for the moment, you invest in the future. What can be done today shouldn’t be neglected. What has to be done now should be done at the instantly. The people you live with and the person you see every day may die before you. Once they go to the grave you can no longer do hat you want to do for them. It may be that you had wished to be good to them, but you may not get to do what you desire when they are no longer with you. When you are stirred or inspired to help someone, you should do as your conscience beckons you.
The reward it gives you will be the fulfillment of your personal satisfaction which you receive. When you live to do good today, you will be blessed in all that you do. And when you live to be good to your loved ones and the people around you , you will cherish the wonderful moments. Live for the moment and the future too that you will cherish the moments you live. It all about living for today. When you do all that you can today, you will be contented in the future because of what you did today. If you sow love today, peace, solace and contentment will be all that you will receive tomorrow. As you live on let you everyday be blessing to many.
