At twenty we worry about what others think of us. At forty we don’t care about what others think of us. At sixty we discover they haven’t been thinking about us at all. If I knew then, what I know now I could have enjoyed my life a whole lot more. When we are young we spend a lot of time thinking about things that really don’t matter on the back drop of eternity. You know what I wish? I wish an older wiser person would have sat me down and shared with me the important things in life. I wonder if I would have heard. Could they have gotten my attention or would I have not been interested? Today I am. Today I realize the importance of having someone older and wiser to share with me what they know. So here is something I would have wanted someone to share with me; and now that I am the older wiser one, come sit for a spell. I have something to tell you.
Family matters. No matter what you go through and how many differences you may have with them, they remain-family. That being said, it is important to make memories together and do life together. One of the greatest ways to do this is to have traditions. Family vacations and photos that you take every year in the same place for example are great reminders and so much fun years down the road. Rent a house with all your siblings and eat Thanksgiving together or rent a house at the beach with lots of bedrooms and let all the cousins stay up all night and make a tent and play with flashlights. It is not so much what you do, but that you do it together and take lots of photos.
Time goes faster than you think it will. Moments today become memories of tomorrow, in the blink of an eye. That’s one thing I would tell a young person. What about you, what would you tell them? Send me a comment and who knows you may find it posted right here.
Genesis 32:9 (NKJV) “Then Jacob said, “O God of my father Abraham and God of my father Isaac, the Lord who said to me, ‘Return to your country and to your family, and I will deal well with you:”
