How would you spend your time

..if your doctor told you that you only have three months to live.

This is something that I guess none of us even contemplate, but it would be good to at least think about it.

Three months? Pft, more than enough time to discover a cure for whatever was killing me.

Vacancy available for AIDS cure inventor. You are a promising candidate who scientists are searching for all these years.

How about 1200 months left? You have more than enough time :o

I would pray to see if there was anything the Lord wanted me to do. If not, I think I would spend as much time as I could with family.
 
Having not faced that situation....I don't know. I would like to think that life would continue as it is. If not, then I am not living according to Matthew 24-25.
 
I'd start writing down all the valuable lessons I've learned thoughout my adventurous life. I already have a journal, so I'd make sure it falls into the right hands. Then I'd just have fun with friends.

Above all else, I'd go out with a bang.
 
So why do we think we would act or do things differently than we already are doing? Are we not to be prepared always for we never know the day or the hour?
 
1. Put my accounts and will in order.
2. Say goodbye to all my friends.
3. Buy all my favorite food and drink for the remaining time.
4. Go to my favorite mountain hideaway with my family.
5. Eat, drink and be merry.
6. :chin
 
Are we not to be ready in and out of season to present the gospel until the coming of the Lord! This is what I do and this is what I will remain doing with my dying breath as a laborer of God planting seeds in His fields. Nothing else much would change in my life from the way I already live it as I'm pretty much a simplistic person.
 
Probably wouldn't change a whole lot. I'd make sure everything was ready for my family to continue on earth when I'm gone, then I'd probably take a little vacation with them.
 
Do meaningful, fun things with friends and family. On my dad's side of the family, the older generations would write a book about their lives and families as the end approached. I think its kind of a modified Calvinist tradition..not sure. I might do that, with an emphasis on God's intervention in my life and how it changed me so dramatically.

Other than that...forgive my enemies (for real this time), settle into my family's home, and prepare to meet my maker.
 
For a brief time i was sorta there they told me stage 4 cancer.. I did not do much different except start to put things in order....

Thank God for chemo...
 
wow, reba. Good thing you have such strong faith. I've never known anyone with cancer that severe, but I've seen un-believers face other illnesses and infirmities. They tend to become bitter.
 
I would write letters to my wife, and friends, but mainly to my daughters.

They are 9 and 11 currently. I'd write them each a letter for each year until they turn 21. I'd consider their ages and try to offer them words of encouragement for the things they may face growing up. Then I'd have a trusted friend mail them to my girls each year on their birthday.
