No one could accuse my cousin, Ben Madill (Mississauga, near Toronto) of not living to the full. Ben died on October 30th, in his 99th year. A minimal list of his accomplishments included saving and restoring the Britannia School House, and writing several books. He was active in Britannia United Church and even maintained its cemetery. He volunteered with several heritage foundations and received a Heritage Hero award. Most of all, he valued those he met along the way.
Dare we ask ourselves “Am I really living? Why/ Why not? What changes do I need/want to make? Am I a good example to others on how to really live the life God gave me?”
Why does the Amplified Bible say that ‘Sarah lived 127 years; this was the length of the life of Sarah.’ (Genesis 23:1)
Could it mean that Sarah really lived her life? Few of us do, you know. We let opportunities pass, ignore chances to grow and treat our relationships carelessly.
Let’s live, really live and walk, really walk in God’s light, God’s way and God’s will. (From 1 John 1:7a)
