It keeps popping into my mind about how quickly life moves. There is no way to stop time from turning. We simply take each day as it is given and a lot of times we take them for granted.
This week has been an eye opener to me. One morning a man is healthy and ready to take on tomorrow. The next he is no longer in our lives. How quickly does life change... This pregnancy is yet another example of how quick life changes. Today we sit here looking on only 8 more weeks and our baby will arrive. Where have the last 7 months gone?
I truly wish there were a way to say HANG ON and time listen. But, that isn't so. Instead we need to use each moment to the fullest. We should take each minute and really look at the life we have.
How blessed am I to have a husband who supports me, friends who are there within a minute if I need them, a family who comes together just to be together, and a church family who is simply a call away if I ever need? Not everyone has those things, but everyone has something that is a blessing to them. Possibly their job, a child, a pet, etc. So, when I sit here and become sad about things I am going to think on those good things.
I will smile knowing God is looking down at me. I will smile knowing I have taken the time to follow through on his word. I will smile on all the moments in my life where I truly enjoyed what was taking place. I will laugh at the times where I sat staring at the clock wanting it to move faster.
What is it we are so eager to get to? I tell you this. I no longer will monitor the clock to simply pass the time. I will instead embrace the moments I have and hold them near to my heart.
I guess it is true. It's the little things in life.
