With the recent deaths of Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gianna, and the seven other beautiful souls that fell victim to an unspeakable tragedy, LIFE has been put in perspective for me. For one, the realization that at any time it can be our or our loved one’s time to go home and be with the Lord. No, living in fear of our last days is not a sane way to live, but it reminds one exactly how short life is and how sudden and unexpected death can be.
Reflecting on the lives lost on a way to a young girls tournament shakes me to the core. So many people suddenly lost people close to them that I’m sure they could not fathom losing, especially in such a devastating way. However, as I grieve with the rest of the world I am reminded how blessed we are to have the lives we do have and not take for granted the time God gifts us with in the future.
The reality is that there is going to come a time when we may have to bury our loved ones and be buried ourselves (or cremated or frozen, whatever your groove is). With that being said, having one’s final affairs in order is a paramount aspect of adulthood and makes a significant impact on one’s transition. No one wants to talk about death. I mean it is literally EVERYONE’S least favorite subject, unless you’re a serial killer or something. However, think about the devastation your loved ones would feel if you unexpectedly passed AND they had to go into debt sending you to be with The Lord.
Not a very good feeling, is it?
