The Value of Life?

Did you ever just wonder how much time you really have here on this earth? I have, and maybe, if we would give that question just a little more thought, we would have more answers! Life in the end is really what you make it, you make choices, and then you live with them. Some choices have pretty hard consequences, and you can't go back and undo them. All you can do is make the future better. That is why, you can never give up, there is always something you can do to make your life count. And when you have a family, it is family first! Make your time with them, not the world, so many are concerned with living of the world, instead of in the world. Things; will consume you, and then your life! And when that is gone you are gone! And all you will leave are memories, and memories have a way of fading away, so, make yours count. Put value to your life!

Now, when you are young you seem to think of time as a friend, something that will always be there. And when you get older, you realize time really does just slip away! Wow, what impact, time really does just slip away. Like, here today gone tomorrow. My husband and I lost a very dear friend and business associate this year! And we were devastated, it was so sudden, we could hardly believe he was gone. And all the time, he knew the way he was living, was killing him. Now, ask me if he really cared? Sure he cared, but not enough to do anything about it, and for years he could have. He leaves behind a wife, daughter and two grandchildren. And, they are the ones now left with the memories he created for them, and as sad as I am to say, he could have tried a little harder, I can see the pain he left behind! The hurt, he can't take back, it's too late, he didn't value life enough to care! And I know I don't want to be my friend, that is why I write stuff like this, yeah, some might say it's rambling I say it's a voice, and if I can leave even a small impact on even one person, than to me it was worth it. Some fellow writers say; time is money and I am wasting my time, but I say No! I'm not! People search all there lives for answerer's, and if we would all share and mentor to one another, maybe we could bridge those gaps and focus on family again, moral values, helping one another, things that really do matter. Not how much money you can put in the bank, or how big a house you can live in. What good are all those things, if what matters the most is lost. A world without warmth, love, compassion. I get up everyday, say a prayer; thank the Lord that he gives me another day here on Earth! And believe me when I say, I have to work hard at trying to live in a world that test you every morsel of your soul. For the most part :), I have learned to have faith, to close my mouth, and trust in God, We try not to judge, as there is only one true judge of the world, but let me tell you, it's a journey! One, I know I will travel indefinitely, and hope to gain strength as I go! I want to make my life count; I want to leave a mark, something that my God and family would be proud of! So, make your life something you Value, make it count! You’re worth it, and so is your family! We are all family, wasn't it God who said we are all Brothers and Sisters? Talk to you soon!

God Bless
