What’s Important?

Is your life rushing by? Are you so caught up in the “have to do’s; have to have’s:” that you forget the important things? It doesn’t matter how big your home is or how much money you have. It doesn’t matter what car you drive or what brand of clothes you wear. These are all material things. Material things are just that…MATERIAL! They are not eternal, they don’t last forever…they are only temporary. 

What are the truly important things? Love, laughter, peace, joy, happiness, closeness, family, friends….this list is endless! Yesterday is gone, never to come back again. You can’t take it back or change anything that happened. Don’t waste today. Today make sure that you say, “I love you”, to those you love. Today, hug somebody who needs a hug, smile at strangers, at the end of the day take time to notice the masterpiece that God paints in the Western sky called a sunset. Teach your children about God and His love. Teach them that Jesus loves them and died for them and rose again. 

So many of us get so busy seeing to it that our children “don’t miss” out on the things we did that they don’t have time to be children! Teach them to enjoy simple things such as making pictures out of clouds; making mud pies; climbing trees; jumping rope, playing everyday kid games. 

We all need to take the time each day to stop…look around…and notice the good and the beauty around us. And above all we need to see each and every blessing from God that He has sent to us that day! Don’t forget to say “I love you”; Smile; give God all the Praise and Glory for another day and make the most out of that day! 


Love and Blessings,

Just like this dandelion, with one strong blow is scattered in the wind, so are our days. Enjoy the beauty and love of each day as I have enjoyed this dandelion!
