*100 YEARS FROM NOW !!!*
100 years from now will be the year 2121.
By then, every single reader of this piece will be underground, our bodies having become part of the soil.
During that time, our fate in respect to paradise or hell would have been made known to us.
Meanwhile above the soil, our houses that were left behind would have become either homes for others or demolished for better structures. Our clothes would have become destroyed or rags for others and replaced by more recent trends; our cars will be on display as historical artifacts by others or recycled for more advanced technology.
But for us, we will be, for the most part, never thought about by anyone again.
Think of it, how often do you think about your great grandfather? Have you even ever heard about him? How often does your great grandmother cross your mind, if even you've ever heard of her ?
You see...!
Our presence here on earth today, that presence that we make so much noise about and shed so many tears for, was preceded by countless generations before us and shall be followed by countless generations after us.
Every generation that passes through this world barely finds the time to take a glance at the world, before needing to bid it farewell and handing over the baton, having not fulfilled even a fraction of their ambitions.
Our lives are, in reality, far shorter than we imagine.
If the average night's sleep is eight hours (i.e one third of a day), one sleeps for one third of one's life. If you live, say, 75 years, that's 25 years asleep, or 9,125 days.
What about eating? 4.5 years. That’s right, four and a half years of your life will be spent eating.
Whether daily grind or dream career, our jobs take up a lot of our time; 13 years on average, actually. That’s 24% of a typical working period of 50 years.
We often remember school as a huge part of our upbringing. A time that shaped and changed our childhood. In reality, we only spend around 334 days’ worth of our lives in primary and secondary school. That’s not even one year!
We spend around 8.3 years (3030 days) in front of the TV. That’s enough to watch 72,720 hour-long programs in a lifetime.
How many times a day do you look at your phone? Enough to spend about 3 years on social media. A third of young adults and half of 18-24-year-old's wake up to check their phone in the middle of the night.
Taking up an average of 1.3 years of our lives is exercise. That means we spend more than double the time on social media than we do feeling the burn. And we spend over 6 times as long watching the television and mobile phone.
We only spend around 368 days of our lives socializing. That’s 12 times less than we work.
Most of us will spend just over 3 years of our lives in different destinations than the ones we call home.
The average person spends 395 days in their life being romantic. Over one year of time used for flowers, candles, fancy meals and you-know-what!
We spend 235 days of our lives waiting in queues.
115 days are spent laughing.
Women spend 136 days getting ready while men only take 46.
As a Christian I do not know how many of us use the time we have left to pray and read the Bible and to meditate upon His Word to commune with God?
If we do not want to give at least a tenth of our time toward God and eternal things daily, why do we expect to go to heaven where only God resides to reign, in other words, God is the focus of all the activities which happens in heaven? Forget going to heaven, when you forget to commune with God now when you live on earth.
In 2121, every one of us will realize from within the grave just how worthless this world actually was, and how trivial those dreams were that we centered on. In 2121, every one of us will be wishing that we had dedicated our lives to great matters of God, doing His bid, and devoted ourselves to doing good deeds, particularly those that continue to benefit us after our death.
In 2121, some reading this piece will be screaming out, but in vain:
“Lord return me! Give me another chance, so that I may have another opportunity to live for you .
The response to this request, however, shall be:
“No! and behind them is now a barrier until that Great Day.
In 2121, many will be in regret, saying:
“I wish that I had prepared for life after my journey on earth.
Let us reappraise ourselves, for surely what happened to those we talk of, heard of and read of will surely happen to us. Let us take advantage of today while it is called TODAY.
Tomorrow is not yours until it comes. And keeping our faith in God is the ONLY way out.
I hereby humbly appeal to everyone who is touched by this message to use this opportunity to share this important message to your contacts as part of your personal preaching.
And live your life on this planet earth wisely.
"6 Remember your Creator before the silver cord is loosed, or the golden bowl is broken, or the pitcher shattered at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the well. 7 Then the dust will return to the earth as it was, and the spirit will return to God who gave it." (Eccl 12:6-7).
Much Love and Blessings....
