We’ve all encountered loss in our lives — loss of loved ones, health, careers, friendships, and memories. There is a lot to lose in life in general.

It can be a scary and sobering thought.

However, we can take a different perspective from this loss.

• That life is precious.
• That each moment counts.
• We can live each day as if it’s the last one we may have with the people or things we cherish most.

Also, keep in mind that each word and action makes a difference.

• Each encouraging word, gesture, or smile makes a difference to the discouraged.
• Each gift of generosity makes a difference to the person in need.
• Each positive use of our time, gifts, and talents makes a difference to humanity.

The world awaits — and all of Heaven awaits — as we give the best version of ourselves each day. We have crowns awaiting us in Heaven as we live unto the Lord (Prov 4:9, Rev 3:11).
