Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. - Psalm 150:6If I were to scoop up a handful of dirt and blow into it, all I would get is a dirty face. When God did it, He got a living, breathing human being capable of thinking, feeling, dreaming, loving, reproducing, and living forever.
As one of these human beings, I speaks of "catching" my breath, "holding" my breath, or "saving" my breath, but these are idioms of language. I cannot save my breath for use at a later time. If I don't use the one I have now, I'll lose it, and I may even lose consciousness.
When God breathed into Adam, He gave more than life; He gave a reason to live: Worship! As the psalmist said, "Let everything that has breath praise the Lord" (Ps. 150:6).
This means that we waste our breath when we use it for something that doesn't honor the One in whom "we live and more and have our being" (Acts 17:28).
Althought we cannot blow life into a handful of dirt, we can use our breath to speak words of comfort, to sing songs of praise, and to run to help the sick and oppressed. When we use our breath to honor our Creator with our unique combination of talents, abilities, and opportunities, we will never be wasting it. - Julie Ackerman Link
Breathe on me, Breath of God,
Fill me with life anew,
That I may love what Thou dost love,
And do what Thou wouldst do. Hatch
All that I am and have I owe to Jesus.

When you were told the days you left, I think you will makes your more meaningful than before... as you know you may not have the chance...
Someone told me, "if you assume today is your last day, you will have a more meaningful life... as you use most of your time and doing stuffs you like..."...
I had predict my lifetime will be 60 years old... so, I will try to use it usefully...
