Life's short and fragile.....Soldiers of God....work hard

Received a phone call early on Monday morning from an ex resident... called me 2 times at bout 7ish am.... and i knew something was wrong...he then sms-ed me to say... XXX "was gone"... and when i asked what "was gone" meant...and he said...XXX had passed away in a bike accident...

If you peeps have been reading the papers... on the papers 2 days back... XXX's incident was mentioned.. along with a picture of him... young boy of 17 who passed away....

Was over at his wake earlier on.. together with Dawnie, Lyn, KKMM, DKNY, Sunny and Boy... bumped into another 2 ex kiddos too...well its sad..really.. to know a young boy passed away just like that....cos of an accident that never would have happened if they followed the laws..

Laws are put in place for a reason.. Laws are there to protect us...but many times.. the lure of breaking it just overpowers our will of following them and thus gets us into trouble.. its likenth to the OLd Testament days back to the garden of eden with Adam and Eve... God had given everything to the couple.. but put a law in place...but just that one law...that they did not follow... it brought trouble to them..and all mankind...

But thank God...that he is a merciful and wonderufl God who forgives... he allowed Salvation and sent His Son to die for our sins..and with that... we are reconciled with God once again... and through believing Jesus' death, resurection for our sins... we are born again and have eternal life...and is assured of where we will be going after death on earth...

Well...back to XXX now... its sad then to know..that he is no longer here with us... and that given the time that he was with us... wonder how much of Christ did he know about...and it got me thinking that Life is indeed fragile and we are living on the thin line... cos HE is coming back soon... the harvest is plenty but the laboureres are few...

Got me thinking that as Christians..are we doing enuff to share the good news with others? have we done our part to share God's word and salvation plan with peeps.... Well.. XXX u were a great boy who's always polite and friendly... am sad that u've left us... but u will be remembered by all ur loved ones and friends.... Rest in peace...
