As Joey Martin Feek the country singer was losing her battle to cancer she said, "I have no regrets I have lived the life I wanted to live"She held her baby daughter in a last embrace and slowly release her soul from the burdens of this Earthy abode. Can we say the same no regrets at this moment in our lives?She had only forty years on this Earth to live the life and many of us have had more years.She was married to her soul mate and they made beautiful gospel music together.They had a healthy little girl together.A family that served the Lord.Everyone mourns for those we have lost in our own life and the sorrows of death still are ahead for each of us.What can we learn from her statement of love she gave us all?No regrets and to live in the forgiveness and blessings of each day as Joey did.We all know we have some forgiveness for ourselves and others to do before our time comes to leave this Earthly incarnation.Death does bring us to an awareness of our own lives and can be hard but the rewards of the last words of many are very healing to each of us.Last words of strength for the living instead of words of regrets may be the real reason for each incarnation we experience. Death is just a dying of the old clothes we carry around and the real spiritual form rising in victory through Christ.I am sure she was at this peace that only Christ can offer to His followers.When people think they only have one day or months to live the life seems to be lived with a purpose for others and not their self. She must have started her life with that in mind to serve others rather than self all her days on Earth. She didn't know she was going to die early. We all think we will live forever. Well in a sense we are all going to live spiritual forever if we turn our lives over to Christ.For just a moment now in your life in mine let us think on these things of love, kindness and giving to all to those we met so we have no regrets.
