Stop for a moment.

…well OK read this first, then stop…

This is it you know.
This is life.
It’s not a rehearsal or a role play.
It’s not a virtual reality training course for the real thing.

This is it. We get each moment once.

Only once!

I often seem to procrastinate life.

I’ll pray tomorrow.
I’ll love later.
I’ll be more generous next year.
I’ll grow up and start my real life one day

God’s listening . Pray now.
Who’s in front of you? Love them.
Be generous till it takes your breath away. You might find you start breathing properly.
Live now.

Really living can be scary, but Easter tells us that following Jesus is all about life that overcomes death. Real life, full life, and this is it.

(p.s. any connection between this post and the mid-life crisis brought on by Richard turning forty is purely in your imagination!)
