How long do we have?

Lately I've been thinking a lot about how we don't know when we're going to die. It's kind of a scary thought, not knowing. Like Francis Chan says in his book Crazy Love, we tend to live our lives like we're never going to die. Why do we act like our lives are just going to keep going? I could die in my sleep, or in a car accident on my way to church tomorrow. I want to live my life like today is my last. I want to spend every day telling the people I love that I love them. I don't want to hold tightly to my money and possessions. I want to enjoy the little things in life like ice cream, blowing kisses, smiling, laughing, sunsets, and wind. I tend to get so busy that I forget to enjoy life and the people I love. I don't know when I'm going to die, so I choose to spend each day like it's my very last.

"Gone, like yesterday is gone,
Like history is gone.
The world keeps spinning on.
You're going, going gone.
Like sumemr break is gone,
Like saturday is gone.
Just trying to prove me wrong,
You pretend like your immortal."
