Our church is doing a one month's series based on the book by Kerry & Chris Shook, entitled One Month to Live. The premise is how you might choose to live differently if you knew you only had one month to do anything differently, to get it right...etc. before exiting this life.
One of our praise team members who does well at singing "country" even sang the Tim McGraw song "Live Like You Were Dying." One line goes...
"I went skydiving, I went rocky mountain climbing, I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named Fu Manchu....." (That's all I'm going to post of the song due to copyright issues.) So what about you CD-er's ~~ would you choose to live differently? Would you change something in your relationships? Would you go sky-diving?
Or do you feel like you're already pretty much living a "no regrets" type of life?
Well, Kaykay, with only one month to live I had best get busy tieing up the loose ends of my life..Like forgiving people I have carried a grudge over for so long and asking their forgiveness for doing so....
I will have to tell my kids and grandkids that God has called me home (so they won't be shocked by the unknown announcement of my death) I want them to know that I have gladly accepted the invitation with no doubts or fear..
Then I would spend the rest of the time with them as much as possible to convince them that I am in their blood and will always be there, that I am in their heart because we love each other so much, and when the time comes for God to call them home that I will be there to welcome them..
I would spend time explaining that I have no regrets and that I am satisfied that I did the best I could with what the Lord blessed me with in this world and l look forward to the reward in the next..
these questions are getting deep! lol
i am going to tell everyone the truth of how i feel about them and when i think of their lives--good and bad
i will say goodby, and go to italy to stay with my family who i have lived a lifetime away from, and always wanted to be around.
Location: Finally made it to Florida and lovin' every minute!

I'd decrease the things I "have" to do (like housework, that sort of thing) and do things I "want" to do, assuming I'd be physically able to do so. Travel sounds good, visiting with long lost friends is another. I'd tell DH even more how much he means to me, altho I doubt I have all the words to do so. I'd tell everybody to forget about the funeral - just go and have a great party and tell great stories about the fun we'd had together. I'd see if I could get just one really big, juicy kiss from a really good looking actor I've been in love with forever. (Sorry, hon, but I'm sure you understand!)
Would You Change Anything if You Had One Month to Live???
Well.. I wouldn't change anytihng, besides, I spend most of my time in my room anyways!
Seriously, I would not change a thing, I would continue to make a difference in other people's lives by letting them know how much God loves them, to give his one and only begotten Son, as said in John 3:16. I would also continue to help out others through the ministries in our church.
The Lord knows where my heart is, and I know I won't have any problems when I leave here because I will be going to a much better place to be in the loving presence of our Lord and Savior Jesus.
If there was anything wrong in my life, that could be fixed in a month, I would fix it by now. I try, as much as it depends on me, to live at peace with everyone. I know that because of my decision to accept Jesus as my Lord and Savior I will be going to spend an eternity with Him. Nancy and I have 39 years (as of next Sat) of memories to live with after one of us is promoted, and the knowledge we will be together again. I guess the last month of my life would have to be spent teaching her how to program the DVR

So true, I would have fixed it now to if needed be. BTW, "Happy Anniversary" 5 days in advance.: )that's 39 smiles for 39 years.
