Good Morning
Friends
I pray your day is
off to a great start – February 1, 2019
I continually find myself saying, ‘The older I get, the faster it goes’
However, I think it might be time for me to adopt a new
saying when time passing:
‘Thank You God for the time; help me make
the rest count’
I was going to move off our focus on STORGE/FAMILY LOVE
However, I believe I am going to spend one more day there
– TODAY
WHY? Because it is so important to … LOVE WHILE YOU CAN
My cousin passed away yesterday morning; he was fifty-one
years old. I think that is young. However, I might feel that way because he was
only three years older than me. We were all more like siblings than cousins
when we were growing up. He called my mom his second mom. My last contact with
him before New Year’s Day was in December when he told me he would be coming to
see her soon. He truly loved her. Yet, even with all his love for her, he was
not able to make that last visit.
Tomorrow is
not promised to any of us – the next moment is not promised to any of us
That is why it is important to – LOVE WHILE YOU CAN
Many people have been commenting on my cousin’s amazing smile.
And he did have an absolutely amazing smile!
That glint in his eye, the crinkle of his nose and then
there was that dimple on his cheek.
His smile was infectious and you could not help but
smiling yourself in response.
But why share this with my online friends
who did not know him?
It is important to focus on loving family while you can & letting them know.
Family love [and love in general] is a precious gift – but
one which can easily be taken for granted.
Therefore, it is
important to be intentional about loving and expressing love
Take time to appreciate the little things that you love
about people – and let them know
It is so important
to express love –
Whether it is a kind word, a loving act, a thoughtful
gift, a heartfelt hug or a listening ear
And this does not just apply to family love – it carries
over into all areas of love
It is great to express the love you had and will continue to
hold onto
However, you will never know the full impact of
expressing the love you have – TODAY
LOVE EVERY CHANCE
YOU CAN – seizing every opportunity to express love
LOVE BECAUSE YOU
CAN – recognizing it is a gift from God to have people to love
LOVE WHILE YOU CAN
– understanding there is no greater present like the present
Praying You Have a Blessed Day!
Wishing You Much Love …
“A new command I give you; Love
one another.
As I have loved you, so you
must love one another.” John 13:34
