question for Christians would you do anything different

[mama2one]

Would you do anything different if you found out you had less than a year to live?

If yes, what would you change or how would you live differently?

 

[Lost4words]

Try my hardest to be pure and devote more time in front of the Blessed Sacrament and praying to God.

On another level, i would make sure my bowl was always topped up with my fav treats!

 

[paul1149]

That's a great question. I would work at worrying less and trusting more. I would be sure to cast off the past and live in the present. These are the very things I am already doing, but the question's perspective on time makes it more compelling.

 

[Not David]

I would try to live in a monastery.

 

[mama2one]

tough question to think about

 

[mama2one]

maybe not too many people would make any changes?

 

[bbbbbbb]

I really would not do anything different, having already gone through an acute health crisis and having made changes in my life at that time.

 

[mama2one]

^ health crisis does make one think

 

[Daniel Marsh]

no change that i can think of

 

[JCFantasy23]

I would try to travel a bit while I had time and spend most of the time with friends/family

NOPE!

What was good for yesterday is good enough for tomorrow.

When we die is not important. WHO is holding our hand is what matters.

A lot of people, tens of thousands actually, don't realize they are going to die tomorrow, or sooner, do they ? So they go on living the same way, not caring to find out what is right to do..... and then they die....

What was the change of people in the Bible ? That they were told or offered or asked to make ?

They were told, OT and NT, basically : "Choose TODAY who you will serve" ....... I think this sums it up perfectly.

Of course.

Get my affairs in order.

Finish off my bucket list.

It would only be prudent to do so ...

Luke 12:15-21 Amplified Bible, Classic Edition (AMPC)
15 And He said to them, Guard yourselves and keep free from all covetousness (the immoderate desire for wealth, the greedy longing to have more); for a man’s life does not consist in and is not derived from possessing overflowing abundance or that which is over and above his needs.

16 Then He told them a parable, saying, The land of a rich man was fertile and yielded plentifully.

17 And he considered and debated within himself, What shall I do? I have no place [in which] to gather together my harvest.

18 And he said, I will do this: I will pull down my storehouses and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain or produce and my goods.

19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have many good things laid up, [enough] for many years. Take your ease; eat, drink, and enjoy yourself merrily.

20 But God said to him, You fool! This very night they [the messengers of God] will demand your soul of you; and all the things that you have prepared, whose will they be?

21 So it is with the one who continues to lay up and hoard possessions for himself and is not rich [in his relation] to God [this is how he fares].

I believe I would be more compelled to share my faith, especially since I would be crossing over to a different realm
and I would be more apt to share my thoughts of my confidence of eternal life and the importance of looking at the claims of Christ since everyone is going to face that day as well.

I would try to be be kinder and more generous to people.
