Imagine yourself in a community where every other week, someone you know dies. Your friends and lifelong companions are dying all the time, and somehow you know that any day it could be you. Would you live your life differently? Would you take it for granted, or take it to God?
Living like this is a true scenario and for many – a reality, especially elderly communities in small country towns. This was a place that I lived this summer in Elton, LA. I stayed at St. Paul Catholic Church for a summer internship, where there is such a vibrant love for the faith and the parishioners joyfully treat every day like a gift from God. It might be because they know and live their own reality. Or it might be because they know and live OUR reality.
Life can be taken from us at any moment. Those of us who live and think otherwise are fools.
