What a powerful Chapter it really made me think. I have been praying for guidance on how to prioritize things in my life. I feel so overwhelmed and don't know what to make a priority. So many people I know are in pain and need help. Yet, when I try and help I become so overwhelmed and complicate things for myself and family. I sometimes think my family doesn't get the time and energy they need from me because I have none left by the time I get to them. I feel like I should no better about what truly matters in life since I faced a life threatening illness, yet I constantly struggle with it.
The best use of Life is Love! The best expression of Love is time. The best time love is now. I love this and it will become my new mantra. I pray each of you can stop and make love a priority and give time to your family.
I understand what you are saying Janina and I know what is means to stretch yourself pretty thin and it's hard to know what the right thing is. He talks about relationships being what life is all about. I find that very interesting and think about how blessed I am to have all the different kind of wonderful and not so wonderful relationships I have in my life. God have provided all these different relationships so that I can grow and show him I care about his children.
When he talks about time and money and explains that you can make more money but you cannot make more time...an eye opener. I think at times when I am on the computer and Andrew is bugging for my attention I need to understand that he wants me to play with him and stop what I am doing. I need to put everything aside and just be with my son. I was also thinking about the part when he states that when you die they don't ask you what you accomplished or how many degrees you have but how you treated others. It makes me think of my mother-in-laws funeral and that she had over 400 people there...clearly she treated people amazing and was an awesome person. I can only hope I would have the relationships she would have in her 53 years being alive.
