Terminal Illness

Last night while doing a bonfire, we ran into a drunk guy who was going through a rough time. Even though he rambled on forever, he kept going back to the idea that life is like a terminal illness.
It's interesting to see that two people in similar circumstances had two different situations. This is not to say that I'm in any way a better person, but rather last night gave me much needed perspective.

I'm fortunate to have a God that loves me regardless of my situation.
I'm fortunate to place my trust and hope and foundation in the Lord.
I am blessed to know that life is not simply a terminal illness where at the end of it, it is all done and worthless.
I am blessed to have community to point me to the cross when all I can think about is myself.
I am blessed to know that God is in control despite the circumstances and that we will never know what happens in the future.
