Some days, I obsess over everything else.
I look at the college credits needed to earn my degree and I sigh. I check the bank account and worry. I browse the racks of clothes and shelves of things at the store and I'm convinced I am less without them. Sometimes, I look at everything and everyone else.
She reminds me that it's all so inconsequential.
There are only a few things in this life that will matter at the end. The hands I will hold as I slip away are among the most important.
Because, in my final hours, I will be thinking only of God. Of Millie. And of Sky.
And of how I lived my life to be a part of theirs.
So true my friend. And now you just made my last post sound silly haha
ReplyDeleteThe simplest things seriously bring the most joy :)
ReplyDeleteI really liked this. Things were really put into perspective for me with this past week. So many things I deemed important are not
ReplyDeleteYes :)
ReplyDeleteBeautifully put!
ReplyDeleteOh my word, wait until you see my post for Friday! Similarities here for SURE, wow!
ReplyDelete"thinking I'm less without them" totally can relate, I feel that way too about clothing or other things I don't have or talents I don't have. Isn't it hard sometimes?! I've come a long way, but still can really really suffer from this...especially since I started blogging. I seriously almost stopped blogging b/c it got so bad, I thought I had NOTHING to offer compared to all you amazing bloggers!
Satan is SO good AT lying!!!
I needed this reminder. It can be so easy to get caught up in bank accounts and in what I "don't have" (pssh...who even cares?!) and in little, inconsequential things. But you are so right. There are only a few, very important things that truly matter.
ReplyDeleteWell said! New follower here and I am enjoying your posts! :)
ReplyDeleteAlways a good reminder. Thank you. It's so hard in the day to day events of life to stop and remember what's really important. You're right, the love of/for family and friends, that's what really matters.
ReplyDeletethis brought tears to my eyes.

ReplyDeletePeople don't realize how much isn't going with them after they die. They aren't even taking their bodies!
Relationships matter! People matter! Ah! You bless my heart. :)
