Still Standing

Still standing or Alive are becoming standard answers when asked how are you; replacing well and fine. So today I paused to really think about it and even engaged in a small side bar on the topic. If as Christians we know that our riches will be received in heaven and that all things great come with meeting our king. Why do we put so much emphasis on being alive this day. I think what we are really trying to say is we survived another day here on this earth, We didn't give up or give in. We didn't let the stress or struggles kill us. We made it just one more day to do what God assigned for us. My work here is not done, so I'm still standing until my Lord calls me home. I am Alive here on earth; but when I make it to heaven what a Life God has in store!!
