Coming to grips with age. Knowing that we are not indestructible. Knowing that we are born so that we can die. Oh yea, I know that but what to do when it is staring you in the face and you have to deal with it. We all have a date marked on the calender-some sooner some later.
In the past seven years, I have been granted a gift. A realization that life is short and precious. Sometimes we need to make more of an effort into it to get the returns that we desire. Things are not just given they are earned. Walk the high road and returns are great. I have learned through my own type of deaths that there is light at the end. Turn to the Lord and he will get your through all your storms. The big and the little ones-if you give it too him. My dad told me that many years ago and I didn't know what that meant or how to do that. Time, learning, and observing-now I know.
I would have never thought that I would be here-in this place-in this state of mind seven years ago. My life was headed down a different path. Not necessarily a bad one but not a full filling one. It still amazes me today that if I would have taken a different fork-where would I be. Don't get me wrong I am happy for where I am. I am grateful for all I have and who is in my life. I know my Father. He has given me the ability to truly get to know my mom and dad. I am grateful to see the "gifts" I have. Some don't allow for that to happen until it is too late. I am glad that I see it sooner than later. Once again Life is short! Are you where you want to be and who you want to share it with? Are you doing all you want to do? Are you making a difference in others life? Do you even care?
Time to dig the layers of dirt off. Find the plant. And stop and smell the roses...we all have them!
