Don’t Take Time for Granted
Have you heard about “The Last Lecture” by Randy Pausch? It became a huge hit on the internet, being viewed by millions across the world. The lecture’s popularity spawned a book that is still on the best seller’s list. Last week, Randy Pausch lost his battle with pancreatic cancer. ABC aired a special “Primetime” this past Tuesday, remembering him.

Randy said, “We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand.” We all have the same fate. Randy Pausch was a reminder that our time is short. My faith, my wife, and my kids are my life. Randy would have given anything for more time with his family. He reminds us to not sweat the small stuff, have a better attitude, work hard, play hard, be passionate, love every moment with our family and friends, and don’t take time for granted.

The video and book are excellent. For more information check out The Last Lecture.

My husband passed away from cancer less than a year ago. He was 46. I was glad we didn't know when he would be gone, because we would have lived in fear of it and would have lived differently. I liked the way we lived. Things I would have done differently: worried about money less, vacationed more. We had alot of places we were going to go in the future when we had more time and money. My advice to people is to get good term life insurance and health insurance, then spend quality time together. Meet for lunch, even if it isn't always convenient. Love is in the little things. Do the little things. Send flowers for no reason. Fix a favorite meal for no occasion. We would have been married 25 years this year and had planned on going to Hawaii again. Life doesn't always turn out the way we planned, but I believe God does have a plan for our lives.
