Just a Thought

It has been way to long since I have sat down at this computer to write.  As I look back and see when my last blog was, I realize how much I truly miss writing. Sometimes, I just think we get so absorbed in the things going on around us and trying to please everyone, that we truly forget to do what it is we love and what pleases us.  I think we take things for granted so much that we sometimes lose sight of who we are and what we like to do.  We all seem to get caught up in the rat race of life.

We must always remember that if we are not happy, how can we expect to make those around us happy and treat them with the love and respect that they deserve? Think about this for a minute:  at the end of the day, who is the one person or people that mean the most to you?  Most likely, this is your spouse, your children, your parents and your family.  Why is it that we sometimes try to hurt those that are closest to us?  We should always strive to be happy around, love and respect those closest to us, because no matter what, they will always be the ones still there at the end.

We must enjoy the time that we are given.  We must enjoy those that God has chosen to bless us with in this life.  We must never take for granted what we have, because at any moment it can be taken away from us.  We must remember to be true to ourselves, so that we can be true to others.  We must take care of ourselves, so that we can take care of others.  We must love ourselves, so that we are able to love others.  We must do what we love, so that we are an inspiration to others to do what they love and what they are called to do.

May you all have a wonderful and blessed day.  Remember, God has given us each a purpose in this life, don't be afraid to fulfill that purpose.
