Are you prepared to face death?

Death is like a thief in the night, that you don't know when it will come to take your life. Many amongst us people are afraid to face death because we don't want to be separated from our love ones totally. We don't want to live them and it will be a painful journey when it has to end. Or some of us believe in hell that they know they are bad and don't want to go there. And some are too wealthy that they don't want to leave all the riches they got because they cannot take it to another life after death. But are you prepared to face our maker?

what scares me is the concept of hell. of course, we all would not want to leave our beloved ones especially they still cannot afford to fend for themselves. but it is the thought that what if i fall short and is a candidate to hell. this is a thought-provoking question. actually, sometimes i can confidently i can anytime. but at times, when i seem to be 'bad', i doubt.

I am prepared. It would not bother me to leave any time the Lord decides to take me. He must not be ready for me and I have something to do yet because my health has been so bad at times over the last several years that friends told me that I looked like I was on deaths door step and would not be with us long. I even felt like I was losing ground here. Then I started doing better. I'm not completely well but I can do things when before I was bedridden.

Thank you...I too wish to spend more time with my family and grandchildren too. I want to see them grown and to be there for them and my children, my mom, and my husband too. But when the time comes I will be ready, even if it's soon.

Well if I did die one of these days I think it would be best to accept it. Everything has a purpose for happening. Although I really wouldn't mind living more years. I want to get as old as I can and do everything I want to do in life.
