Today I had my yearly check-up,
heard my life was just a breath
was told that any day . . .
I could face my earthly death.
Found my days were numbered,
along with all my hair
and the fleeting of my time
was the ground work to prepare.
All throughout the exam,
as the evaluation was going on
I wondered if my heartbeat
reflected the one of the Son.
When the assessment was over,
I knew my habits had to change
and the priorities in my life
I would need to rearrange.
Today, I had a check-up,
found out life was just a vapor
so until my dying breath . . .
I’m living it for my Savior!
~~~~~
“Whereas ye know not
what shall be on the morrow.
For what is your life?
It is even a vapour,
that appeareth for a little time,
and then vanisheth away.”

Pastor Jim everything is fine physically . . . I was giving myself a spiritual check-up. I think I will change the title as others have commented or emailed me asking the same thing 🙂 But, thank you for your concern and when my health does change for the not so good you will be the first person I ask to pray for me! ~ Have a blessed day with Jesus ~
