.... as if today were you very last day.
Better yet, LIVE .... as if today was your spouse's very last day.
Yes, I like that one better.
Because if you think it's going to be his/her last day .... I think you'd do things differently.
Most of you anyway.
If you're not married, LIVE ..... as if today was your loved ones' very last day.
Parents, LIVE as if today was your child's very last day.
LIVE.
Because we never know ......
Tomorrow is not guaranteed.
LIVE .... please, live.
For me. And for the other widowed people out there.
LIVE .... for those who didn't get that reminder.
But wish they had.
LIVE, Peeps.
And if you do, could you come back here and tell me how you did .... and what, if any, difference in made?
That would mean a lot to those of us who ...... well, you know.
It would mean .... a lot.
Happy Friday, Peeps.
:)
Thanks for the reminder, Janine. Love you!
ReplyDeleteI needed this perspective tonight, thank you!! Found myself getting grumpy with the husband over things that are so irrelevant, and the more I stewed, the grumpier I've been getting. He's been in bed and I'm not such a fan of going to bed mad/sad/angry because through your blog and other stories I've heard, you just never know... Therefore, I will go peek in on my 13 month old and smile at the blessing he is in my life, then I'll go snuggle up to my hubby of five years and thank God for my family and for the people He's brought in my life in different ways to help me recognize my blessings. Thank you for sharing your life with us, it's helped more than you know!
ReplyDeleteAfter reading your post I went to my 8month old daughters room and kissed her, and prayed and thanked
ReplyDeleteGod for the blessing she is in my life, I also hugged my husband tighter than usual and told him how much I loved him. Thank you for the reminder!
hugs from Mexico!
It seems like this should be so obvious, but what a great reminder from a really good "reality-check" perspective! Although we *only* have 2 kids, they've had us running in opposite directions for WEEKS now. My wonderful husband has been out of town since last Thursday and won't be home until tomorrow night. (He doesn't usually travel.) I sooooo can't wait to see him! Your post has reminded me not to lose sight of what's important even when things get hectic. It's also reminded me to ease up on my kiddos. They are truly great kids (FAAAAAAR more by the grace of God than anything we've done!) so I probably shouldn't be so quick to respond harshly when they, you know...act like the 7 & 9 yo kids that they are rather than perfection!!! ;) Most days, I would respond FAAAAR differently to them if it were the last day I had with them in this life. THANKS Janine!
