Yes we all have experienced at one time or another attending a funeral of a loved one or friend. Every funeral you attend is a wake up call to love, forgive and live your dream because you know very well that sooner or later you have to die too, isn't it?
Death is certain but the time of death is very uncertain. That is why it is so important to forgive others when they are alive and make peace with them, don't let your pride and ego get in the way to making peace with your loved ones and friends.
Treasure the precious time with your loved ones and friends, especially your parents, they are getting older and they would love to have more time with you because they are wise enough to know their bodies are getting older and they're not going to live forever.
Many people carry on their lives as if they are going to live forever, clinging to their wealth as if they can carry it with them when they die. Use your wealth to help your loved ones, friends and strangers to live a better and happy life.
Try a little kindness every day, your little gestures of kindness can multiply a hundred fold and touch millions of lives worldwide!
We are all seeking for answers to our physical, emotional, financial and spiritual challenges. It all boils down to what do you really want in life and how are you going to get it?
God has made it very clear in the Bible, "Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need." - Matthew 6:33
If you are seeking for answers, I highly recommend The Alpha Course, which will probably answers most of your questions on life.
We are recommending all the time, there is a wonderful Chinese saying that says if you've benefited from something, it's your moral obligation to share it with others.
If you want to know more about Christianity, I highly recommend you attend The Alpha Course at St Andrew's Cathedral if you live in Singapore, I'm very sure it is also available in many cities too.
