On Today's Meditation
"Like an hourglass with a certain number of grains of sand within it, God has appointed your life to last only a certain number of days, and you have absolutely no idea how many there are... In God's presence, consider: I have no idea when my life will end. All I know is that death will come for me eventually. Am I doing anything to prepare for the real possibility that God may call me, sooner rather than later? If He called me into eternity today, would I be ready? -… read more

Members living with multiple myeloma and other serious illnesses opened up about whether they feel ready to meet God, sharing deeply personal reflections on faith, fear, and finding peace. Several members described practical steps they have taken, like completing wills, estate plans, and funeral arrangements, while others found spiritual readiness through prayer, deepening their faith, or simply trusting God one day at a time across many faith traditions. A recurring theme was that being ready does not mean stopping the fight to live, but rather holding faith and hope together while cherishing family and each precious day.

Just remember, when you stop treatment, for quality of life, like my mom did, you are not giving up. You are looking forward to life after death, in heaven with God. God blessed her with 4 1/2 more years after stopping treatment for Stage IV ovarian cancer, with tumors everywhere and lung cancer. She did not start Hospice and pain medication until the last 6 months of her life, which were filled with joy, laughter and family. She was 91 years old.

We come from God and we go back to God, then God asks, “What did you do with the talents I gave you?” Our God is a God of mercy, but people forget, He’s also a God of justice.
My favorite Chaplet, is the Divine Mercy Chaplet. If you have ever seen the image of Jesus, as the Divine Mercy, it’s so peaceful to look at. I have the image facing my bed. When I die, I want to be looking at Jesus.

You all only talk about heaven, when there is so much more. I believe when we exit our body's and are no longer tied to this physical form. It open up all possibilities and time no longer effects us. Yes I believe heaven is out there but I believe there is so much more. Our minds cant even understand or comprehend all that there is. I dont know why I felt the need to share this. Its just one man's belief.

No I'm not ready. I have my affairs in order but other than that my mind and body is telling me to continue living and loving. Life is in a good place right now. I'm not ready to give up.

want to share a little update about my journey. Recently I went for a CT scan of my lungs, and today the doctor explained the results to me. They found some changes in my left lung compared to before. There are areas where the lung lining looks thicker, and a small mass in the lower part of the left lung has grown a bit since my last scan. Because of these changes, the doctors want to do another test called a bronchoscopy, where they use a small camera to look inside the airways and take samples to understand it better. Hearing all this was not easy for me. It made me emotional because it feels like one thing after another. But at the same time, I am thankful that I am already under medical care and the doctors are taking steps to find out exactly what
