∞AS LONG AS YOU STILL CAN…∞
*
As long as you can still make mistakes, make whatever
mistake there is to make; you may never get extra time for mistakes.
*
As long as you can still ‘say sorry’, never hesitate
to tell it to whoever needs it, whoever you owe it. Will you wait till your
mouth can no longer move and your tongue as stiff as a log of wood?
*
As long as you
can still forgive, hold nothing back; readily forgive, for you may never come
across him/her again. More so, when your mind becomes blank, who will you be
deceiving then?
*
As long as you can still give, give all to all; never
wait for the right person to come around before you give. After all, what have
you that is not given to you? Your ‘right person’ may never come around, and
the weight of unexpended alms may be too much on you. Your soothing words,
encouragement, exhortation, material gifts, knowledge, talent etc. are all
yours to give, now that your limbs still move.
*
As long as your strength allows you, pray hard. It is
what can keep you going when your strength fails you, and temptation creeps in;
even when you can no longer pray. Never be too busy for it now since the wood
gathered in the dry season can keep you warm in the cold rainy times.
Now
that you can still love, please dear do, and with passion. I don’t see any
other reason you are here: It is always the first. In fact, that alone takes a
life-time and still be as very active as in has been; and even beyond this life
(you know what I mean). Keep them in your heart, those you love, starting with
your maker. Never waste you God-given time hating people. In case you don’t
know, you’ll require a greater amount of energy to hate even an ant, than to
love God. This is where we are continually in debt with other people, and
should pay up before the hammer strikes.
