Do it while you can
'YOU WILL BE MISSED, BECAUSE YOUR SEAT WILL BE EMPTY.' 1 SAMUEL 20:18
Imagine waking up one day to find you've been erased from life. You can see and hear people, but as far as they're concerned you're gone. Wouldn't it be a nightmare? You couldn't tell your Mum you loved her because she won't hear. You can't send your Nan flowers because you're not around. You can't even tell your mate at college, 'you know, you're alright you'. Actually, you don't even have to imagine it, because somehow, we never get around to doing those things even though we can be seen and heard.
Sometimes we're too busy to think of anybody else, sometimes we just don't think, we just take people for granted that they'll always be there. Sometimes we don't know how to tell people how we really feel. Well, why not start trying. Put into practice ways of showing people what they mean to us. Start now, put this little mag down, and make your mum a cuppa without her asking. Mow your Nan's lawn this weekend. Buy your mate a special present for no reason other than you love them. The clock's ticking and the days are flying by.
Jonathon knew that David would not always be around, that's why he took his chance whilst he could to say '...You will be missed, because your seat will be empty.' Don't wait until your loved ones seat is empty; tell them you love them today.
