Me-Maw Thoughts
Number 805
September 15, 2026//
Bear with me this morning as I share thoughts on a subject we do not like to think or talk about!
We are all aware that Each person is born, and at birth starts heading for death! Most of us do not think about that very much and live our lives without consideration of how short life can be!
Our pastor shared a statistic Sunday that has been on my mind since! It is average so it may fluctuate at various times, but it really got my attention!
He shared that 174,000 people die each day in our world! Please don’t shrug this off!
174,000 people died yesterday, will die today, and will die tomorrow! My mind cannot get past the question, “How Many of those have received Jesus Christ as their Savior?”
Those men, women, and children we pass on the sidewalks or in cars or in our churches, schools, or workplaces, are going into eternity by death at some point (unless Jesus returns first)!
These thoughts go out in several ways each Tuesday to people in all walks of life and you may not be familiar with some of the terminology I use today but be assured that this world is not the end and there is life after death!
The Bible teaches us that:
Hebrews 9:27 (KJV) And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
John 14:6 (KJV) Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
I know this is a more serious MeMaw Thoughts than normal, but the thought of how many people die without really living by accepting Jesus as Savior and that they are facing eternity without hope just will not leave me! I care about those who read this and want to see all of you receive what Jesus did for us on the cross and if you have received Jesus as your savior, I want to encourage you to share the truths of the Gospel!
The Bible tells us what the enemy of all that is good desires for us vs what Jesus came to give us!
John 10:10 (KJV) The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
If we could ever understand the Peace and Joy inside that Jesus can give, no one would hesitate to believe and receive. But it cannot be explained only experienced!
John declared that the truth of the Bible was written for a reason:
John 20:31 (KJV) But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.
If you have not received as truth all that Jesus paid for you with His death and resurrection, I encourage you to open a bible and began to read the book of John in the New Testament! Before you start ask the creator God to show you truth as you read!
If you have received Jesus as Saviour, I encourage you to ask the Father what you can do to show Jesus to a world that is in desperate need of truth. Never forget that no matter how little it is, a light dispels darkness and no matter how little you think you can do, it will dispel darkness!
If you do not believe or agree with what I have written, I have prayed that you will read it to the end! Please know that it is my desire that each of you find the peace that only the Lord Jesus can give!
Rember, I love you to the moon and back and God loves you more than you can comprehend!

Father, I ask you to take what I have said and touch us in the way we need to be touched! If my words were confusing, make them clear to each person and let them hear the truth! You provided a way for us to have abundant life from the inside out and we each need to let that truth shine through all we do each day. I ask in the mighty name of our Saviour, Jesus Christ! Amen!
Love, MeMaw!
