Make time

I got the news yesterday that a family member has what could potentially be a life threatening health issue. I’m stunned, and with no husband/best friend here to talk to or cry with, I’m floundering. I went through a bit of a faith upheaval awhile back, questioning and doubting many things that I’d always believed. I came through it stronger and more sure of my faith, but things like this always make me question. Why do such bad things have to happen, and why can’t I fix everything to make it better for the people I love and cherish.

Through all my doubts and fear, I do know this: there is never enough. There will never be enough laughing, crying, celebrating, never enough time. So we have to cherish what we have. Life isn’t always fair, or fun, but it’s what we have. Make the most of it, every day.

Tell someone you love them, especially if you haven’t said it in awhile. Call just to say hi. Do a kind deed for someone, because of how it makes them feel and how it will make you feel. Take a walk with your children. Stop what you are doing when they talk to you and just look at them, see into their hearts. So they know you really want to hear them.

Take time every day to make a connection with those you love. So much time is spent in a whirlwind of activity, no stopping or pausing to enjoy each other. Time is speeding by much too fast, and we can never get it back. So make each day yours, to love and cherish.
