Death is Like a Thief in the Night

Understanding death is like understanding a thief in the night. A thief comes when you least expect him to come. He will not give any warning to the household that he will take their things or belongings. A thief will (try to) take everything he wants. Death is like a thief in the night. We do not know when death will knock at our doors. No one can make preparations for his/her death unless a doctor knows when his patient will die because of a severe illness (but even that can still proved to be unpredictable). Still, we really do not know the exact date and time of our death. God gave us this life and He alone knows and he alone takes it from us. So, as we are still living we should make the best out of it. We should enjoy life and do good things while we still can for we do not really know when our lives will be taken from us.
