For you never know how much time is left, that can still be rearranged.
If we could just slow down enough to consider what’s true and real,
and always try to understand the way other people feel.
And be less quick to anger, and show appreciation more and love
those in our lives like we’ve never loved before.
I read of a man who stood to speak at the funeral of a friend.
He referred to the dates on her tombstone from the beginning - to the end.
He noted that first came her date of birth and spoke the following date with tears,
but he said what mattered most of all was the dash between those years.
For that dash represents all the time that she spent alive on earth ...
And only those who loved her know what that little line is worth.
For it matters not, how much we own, the cars... the house ... the cash,
what matters is how we live and love and how we spent our dash.

So, when your eulogy’s being read with our life’s actions to rehash...
Would you be proud of the things they say about how you spent your dash?
The Bible tells us we are to be a witness for Jesus every moment of every day.
That means we live our DASH in a manner pleasing to God. How is your dash going?
I would encourage you to be in the Church of your choice this Lord’s day and learn more about how
best to live your dash.
