Been Thinking, For Pete's Sake!

Been thinking a lot lately about life...and death....and what's really important. A young girl died in a car accident and I pass the cross on the side of the road on my way home from work everyday and think about her often. What would she have done if she knew she only had 5 more minutes to live? What would I do? Would she have called her parents and told them she loved them and wished she had been a better daughter? Is that what I would do? Would I pray to my Father God and tell Him I love Him and wish I had been a better daughter? There wouldn't be time enough to do very many things so it kinda gets down to where the focus needs to be on the most important thing. What would that be? None of the material things of life would be on the list. You don't call your house and tell it you loved it and wish you had kept it cleaner. It's all about the relationships, either the eternal one in heaven with Jesus, or the eternal one with the people in your life that will be in heaven with you, or the relationship with those you love who will have an eternal life, but not with you. None of the stuff matters. I have an aunt that is dying slowly of cancer. She started smoking in her teens and was never able to quit (at least for very long). Aunt Pete has always been the Energizer Bunny of the family. She's been the caretaker for most of the extended family (which is a considerable number of people). Who's to say that she wouldn't have gotten cancer anyway but I'm sure that's not what she's thinking as she lays in bed, too sick from the treatments to move or eat or caretake for anyone. I know that's hard for her-being in the bed and unable to help anyone else. The cancer started in her lungs-she had a bad cold and just couldn't get better. She went to the doctor and it was bad. It was in her lungs and hips. Lots of chemo later it moved to her brain. It doesn't look good. Would you please pray-for Pete's sake? I know one thing for sure-she would encourage all you people who are smoking to STOP NOW. I know she wishes she had never started. It's hard to quit, but dying this way is awful. It's hard on her and it's hard on the people who love her so much. Maybe if you smoke you could pray for her when you smoke? Or maybe if you are trying to quit you could pray for her when you feel like smoking and it's all you can think about? Life is so precious and there are so many relationships yet to have. So...a couple of questions here: What would you do if you only had 5 more minutes? and...What would you do differently if you could turn back the clock and change one thing? Just been thinking...for Pete's sake!
