I read this, “Life is Just a Moment.”
It’s insightful. It’s touching.
The ending has a profound lesson.
Perhaps, because of all the recent events in the news and my personal life,
we need to focus on Living Life in every moment.
~~~~~~
A man died…
When he realized it, he saw God coming closer with a suitcase in his hand.
Dialog between God and Man:
God: “Alright son, it’s time to go.”
Man: “So soon? I had a lot of plans…”
God: “I am sorry but, it’s time to go.”
Man: “What do you have in that suitcase?”
God: “Your belongings.”
Man: “My belongings? You mean my things … clothes… money”
God: “Those things were never yours, they belong to the Earth.”
Man: “Is it my memories?”
God: “No, they belong to Time.”
Man: “Is it my talent?”
God: “No, they belong to Circumstance.”
Man: “Is it my friends and family?”
God: “No son, they belong to the Path you Traveled.”
Man: “Is it my wife and children?”
God: “No, they belong to your Heart.”
Man: “Then, it must be my Body.”
God: “No No… it belongs to Dust.”
Man: “Then, surely, it must be my Soul!”
God: “You are sadly mistaken son. Your Soul belongs to me.”
The man with tears in his eyes and full of fear took the suitcase from God’s hand and opened it…
Empty…
Heartbroken and with tears running down his cheeks he asked God… “I never owned anything?”
God: “That’s right. You never owned anything.”
Man: “Then? What was mine?”
God: Your “MOMENTS.”
Every moment you lived was “Yours!!!”
Think Good in every moment
Thank God for every moment
Life is just a MOMENT!

Namaste
I honor the place in you
in which the entire universe dwells.
I honor the place in you
which is of Love, and of Truth,
of Light and of Peace.
When you are in that place in you
and I am in that place in me.
We are One
