Plenty of Time – A Testament

For the past few years our doctor has been trying to get my husband and I to fill out and sign a "Living Will". It’s a little different from your "Last Will and Testament"; the lawyer draws up for you.

A Living Will lets the medical field know what you want done, should you become gravely ill. Do you want to be on life support? Do you want to be fed through a tube? If you are in a coma with no chance of recovering, do you want to be kept alive? (Which I do not. I would not want my family to go through that.)

Well, I thought, I have plenty of time to fill out a Living Will. I have a few medical problems, but I’m certainly not going to die, not any time soon anyway.

Then I received a phone with the most frightening words I had ever heard before. "Mrs. Mills, you have cancer."

True, it was a skin cancer, Basal Cell Carcinoma, but still cancer.

It was then that I finally filled out the Living Will for my doctor. Boy, what a hard thing to do.
I want my eulogy to read, "She loved the Lord with all her heart. She loved her family more than life itself. She enjoyed every minute of being a mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She loved people."

What about you? What will your eulogy read? Do you honestly think you can live for the devil, curse God, then be invited to live in His home in heaven? Get real.

Jesus died for YOU and Me. Do you think you don’t need God? One day, you WILL stand before God. He WILL ask you, "What did you do with My Son, Jesus Christ?" "Did you live for Him, or did you curse Him?"

I hope to see you in heaven one day. Will you be there? I will.


Have a good day and a God filled forever.
