Day 16: Be Kind

Writer's picture: JoniJoni

He didn't know it was going to be his LAST DAY.

His daughter didn't know.

His wife didn't know.

They didn't know that his LAST DAY

was his LAST DAY,

because he was saving them.

The man who gave up his life for his family.

The bullet came, and he took the bullet so they didn't have to.

A selfless act.

A courageous act,

A loving act,

And now he isn't here on earth,

but he is with JESUS.

 His daughter wrote a tribute about him,

expressing his SACRIFICIAL LOVE

and his FAITH IN JESUS.

Do I know him?

I feel like I do, because I know his heart

as his story is all over the news.

One of the three bullets that were shot

that were planned to kill another.

One of the three bullets that would have killed

the daughter and her mother,

yet the father saved their lives.

LIFE IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WHAT YOU HAVE PLANNED HAS CHANGED.

A LIFE CHANGING DAY for all,

 as they will never be the same.

Those who were there.

And those who watched on the tv screen.

I watched. My heart cried for all.

Did he know it was going to be his LAST DAY?

Not at all, as most of us don't know when our LAST DAY will be.

Here today. Gone tomorrow.

We all know SORROW & GRIEF. 

We all have loved ones who already had their LAST DAY. 

We all have a LAST DAY.

But this moment isn't it, as we are all here.

What are you going to do with this day that you are gifted.

Will you join me on this day that is gifted to all of us
