The thing is I meet people every day who are alive but their lives are not going well. Many of them are isolated and rarely receive visitors while others spend large portions of their day creating drama and fomenting chaos. If that were not bad enough far to many people I know spend all of their time running from one appointment to the next never really enjoying their lives at all.
They are alive but they are not doing well. They survive each day but they never really live!
I want to live boldly!!!
I don't know about you but I have grand dreams for my life. I want to excel at everything I do. I want to be the worlds best husband. I want to get my doctoral degree. I want to be the type of father that raises children who will inspire others. I want to lead my congregation in faith and follow the Lord where He leads me.
If I could do all these things...it would be amazing.
But to tell you the truth I would be happy to have just one more day...
...to hug my kids...
...to hold my wife...
...to enjoy the flowers and breath deeply.
You see one thing I have learned this year is that none of us know how long we are for this earth, so with that in mind I will do my best to squeeze every drop of life out of the time I have and I think that will end up being well enough.
