Time Keeps On Slipping Into the Future...
Today the sun is shining, the birds are singing, the flowers are blooming and all is right with the world; until I see that we are already in April and I have lost months since my last post! Or have I lost them?
I have been busy living life. I have found that when we embrace those we love and spend time nurturing those relationships, time just slips by. We talk about how quick it goes, how old we are getting, we are shocked and amazed at all that seems to go on that we don't notice. Yet, in those moments that we hug a child, build a tower of blocks, sit and listen to a young adult's dream, travel with a husband to town as he runs an errand- just to be with him, we are building memories. Those are never a waste.
So, although I have felt guilty at times for not keeping up with this blog daily (or even monthly), I must forgive myself and tell myself that the time I have spent loving on those I care about is truly the best way to spend time. For I am building for the future and the blessings it will hold.
What future are you building? Are you running around like crazy trying to do everything, beating yourself as you go that you are not accomplishing everything on that 'to-do' list? I encourage you to let it go. :)
Take the time today to hug that child, look your loved ones in the eye and tell them you love them. That you are so happy to be sharing this journey called 'life' with them. What a gift they are. They aren't with you? Call them. Text them. Facebook them. Everyone is easily within reach today.
It's a moment that will last long into the future :) Be blessed!
