SING

My Granddaughter who by the way is an art major at K-State painted on our dining room wall last year "Sing as if no one is listening"...

Recently one of my friend's and former co-worker's husband got sick..really sick..he is now in the hospital in ICU in a drug induced coma...has been for now over a week..my friend sits there day in and day out by his bedside faithfully awaiting for his body to heal...I went to see them last night..made me think alot today and since this has happened to how my life is being lived and what am I doing now..while I am in good health and also Everett...what is my life reflecting...if this was to happen to me am I ready, ready to leave this world into eternity, I don't want to sound morbid here but that is where we are all heading..and I ask myself what really matters now...not what I want it to be like someday when I may think that I have it all figured out(because I will never live that long) but how do I want my life to be now..I think that most of us could actually look around us and we should start right now, and Thank God for what he has given us and the blessing He surrounds us with everyday of our life...when I want to grumble I am so ashamed..I know it is human nature, to complain, look around and compare, thinking that others have it so much better then we do..but you can always find a whole lot more people that have it so much worse...I want to live my days that God grants me from here on out being thankful for what I do have and not focus on the could of beens or what I don't have..He has given me so much...I could never thank Him enough...we are entering a season (even though it should be everyday) of Thanksgiving...let's start looking at what we can be and should be thankful for and not what we don't have and live each day to the fullest....and remember to watch what we say..words hurt...especially to those that are closest to us, we never do know when they will be the last words they hear us say...now then...
