Today, I got outta Dodge for a while and took myself and nephew out for a haircut. The day started the way most due start for me. I awake and fall back to sleep multiple times during the night for no particular reason. So anyway I was glad to be taking him today because I needed to get up and go 🙂
After our haircut we headed out for a slice of pizza before coming back to my home. Stevie wanted to play with the puppy.
My mind has been pondering for the last week or so how time seems to just disappear so quickly. Minutes, hours, days,weeks, months and years. As a matter of fact last week the lyrics came to mind for an old song. I have been remembering so many people who have passed and I miss them.m
i sat across from my nephew Stevie today and thought God he grew up so quickly. I remembered reading recently some where a little saying that resonated with me. It went something like this….
While your busy living your life, it is passing by you.
Isn’t that true . We are so busy planning, working, raising families, caring for parents that we get so engrossed in the things of this world that when we finally stop to look up so much has passed by.
At some point earlier in my life I was watching my young children growing up so quickly and managed to say to my wife let’s try and savor these moments they were young and we were all under one roof. I am grateful where I am now because of the mistakes that I have made as a dad and family man spending time with my wife and kids was not one of them. Our life situation of my working days while my worked the nights made me accountable and responsible for our 4 children.
God made it so that my wife and I were together in the effort. We had a sitter that came and filled the gaps who again was an incredible influence of love and kindness to my kids.
I returned home and checked my messages and on Facebook there was a picture that my daughter had reposted from her wedding last June. It was beautiful.
I then saw another post from a friend that reminined me of my mom and I thought and said out loud God mom, I miss you. Please help as I push myself through this day. I began to imagine her response to my greeting.
I happen to believe every word spoken or unspoken from our hearts is heard by our loved one who are now with God.
I threw out a search on YouTube with a phrase that was in my head. This is the song that appeared. I had never heard it before but God led me to it.
Becareful with your time it is fleeting, but it need not be lost.
peace and love.
God bless you all.
