My Weekend
I took off from work Friday and Saturday because I desperately needed a mental vacation. I've been so exhausted and frankly bitter lately. I resent that I don't have time to do what I want so I had big plans and high hopes for this weekend. No housework, no cooking, no errands; I was only going to do what I wanted to do. Well, God has a way of putting me in my place (and I appreciate that) and showing me that my piddly little wants and priorities are not what life is about. I think life is about life; being there for others, spending time together, comforting one another and sharing our experiences.
A dear friend of mine's father was shot last week. Yesterday he passed away, on his birthday. As my husband said, "murder has touched our family." Its a very heavy and disturbing feeling even though we did not know the man personally, it still had a very weighted effect on us.
So, I just wanted to pass this along, on this very special day, Easter Sunday. Spend time with those you love, those who need you and whom you need and love. Life is short and you never know when something unexpected is going to happen. Make amends with your enemies. If you had only one day to live, what would you do with it?
Happy Easter.
