"Life is short and we never have enough time for gladdening the hearts of those who travel with us. O, be swift to love! Make haste to be kind."
-Henri Frederic Amiel
So much of our lives we spend looking to the future: what will I be when I grow up, who will I marry, where will I live, what will I study, who will I impact. That can be really good, don't get me wrong. Looking ahead, planning, creating long-term goals, and seeing God's vision for our lives is great. Just don't get stuck there. God brings us so many opportunities each and every day to touch someone around us, to show love to a stranger, or to speak an honest word of encouragement to a friend. Be sure that you take time to enjoy life each day. Don't get to caught up in what is coming but see it as it comes.
Jessica, I needed this today. And yesterday. And tomorrow. And every day since The G-Word. And every day forever. I'm printing it.
