From John's sermon last Sunday

(The Dash Between)

By Linda Ellis

Between the date when we arrive
and the date we go away,
there exists a horizontal line
that captures every single day.
And because these days we're living
seem to vanish in a flash,
we need to make the most of
that special little dash.
We are blessed with opportunities
as we tread the grounds of earth
to build the loving legacy
our own dash will be worth.
To focus on what matters,
not on things we've owned or bought.
And smile every chance we get,
and love with all we've got.
For the duties of our daily life —
the job, the house, the cash
affect the way we get to live
our only little dash.
So, appreciate the here and now
as each moment will unfold
because we're never told beforehand
how much time our dash will hold.
Don't spend this time with worries,
bitterness and fear.
The future may be uncertain,
but right now, your dash is here.
If you need to make some changes,
let this be the day you start —
to make a difference with your life,
show the love that's in your heart.
For how you spend this life
will someday be defined
by everything that is remembered
in the dash you leave behind.
