A disquieting question persists: \"What if I should die before I feel life is full?\" It is deeply personal, hauntingly spiritual. It's a challenge to re-visit beliefs and the dynamics of faith, love, hope. Exploration brings a fresh encounter: the human and spiritual elements of \"self.\" These are not contending identities; each supplies unique initiatives for life's fullness. Both need nurturing; either can be ignored. Spiritual experience makes promise and mystery real; this enhances earthly achievements. These Meditations focus on spiritual vitality-especially for seniors. They reach beyond a biological birth-death time-frame. They touch on continuity beyond earth-time. God's initiatives enrich the spiritual self-grace energizes faith. This generates and motivates people to offer acts of love. Love fosters grander character and perspective, wholesome relationships, healing for the heart-hungry/heart-broken. The outcome: a healthier self experiencing joy and peace-wholeness for life beyond death. | If I Should Die Before I Live by Richard R Smyth, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
