Have you ever consider the fact that we are sojourners on this earth? We will be going home some day but no one knows that day except our Creator. Like the people in the story below, the time will come when we will not see each other anymore. That is okay with me but my question as always is what legacy would you leave behind if today were to be your last day on planet earth?
When you get to your Creator, is He likely to say 'well done, faithful and good servant' or will He say 'depart from me for I know you not'?
Read today's story and make up your mind what you want to do with the remaining part of your life. It is not too late.
My condolence goes to the families who lost their
loved ones as result of this crash. However, for you my dear friends and
readers, the sad event of the crash reminds me of three things: how short life is, how many times we all go out
and come in safely and how many of us has sent our children on school trips and
they returned safely.
Life is short and it could be anybody’s turn
tomorrow. There is only one person that knows each of us and what we are made
of. We need a relationship with that person so as to be constantly under the
shadow of His wings; ‘OUR CREATOR’.
God, our Creator is constantly watching over us and
as He does this, He keeps telling us to begin to run the race for which He has
created us and some of us still pays deaf ears to this call, thinking that
there is enough time. Are you in this category?
Wake up for time waits for no man. One major thing
walking in purpose could do for us is that it gives us hope and make us have
something to look forward to.
Please connect with your Creator today and discover
who you really are. You are a life saver in your sphere of influence. Discover
your purpose and do something with it.

A Germanwings passenger jet carrying at least 150 people crashed in a
remote part of the French Alps today, with all on board feared killed.
The pilots sent out no distress call and had lost radio contact,
France’s aviation authority said, deepening the mystery over the A320’s
mid-flight crash following a steep descent lasting eight minutes as it
travelled from Barcelona to Dusseldorf.
The plane crashed at an altitude of about 6,550ft, at Meolans-Revels,
near the ski resort of Pra Loup. The site is 430 miles south-south-east of
Paris.
The crash left officials and families across Europe in shock, with
sobbing relatives at both airports being helped by airport workers and crisis
counsellors.
German chancellor Angela Merkel told reporters in Berlin: ‘We still
don’t know much beyond the bare information on the flight, and there should be
no speculation on the cause of the crash.’

Photos of crash site from the La Provence newspaper showed scattered
black flecks across a mountain and several larger aeroplane body sections with
windows, five in one chunk and four in another.
France’s prime minister Manuel Valls said a helicopter crew that landed
briefly in the area saw no signs of life.
Germanwings said Flight 9525 carried 144 passengers – including two
babies – and six crew members.
The plane left Barcelona Airport at 10.01am local time, then began
descending again shortly after it reached its cruising height of 38,000ft,
Germanwings CEO Thomas Winkelmann said.
The descent lasted eight minutes, he told reporters in Cologne.
Eric Heraud of the French Civil Aviation Authority said the plane lost
radio contact at 10.30am, but ‘never declared a distress alert itself’.
He said the combination of a loss of radio contract and the plane’s
quick descent prompted the controllers to declare a distress situation.
