Tell them you love them...NOW

Tell them you love them...NOW!!

We are not promised tomorrow. I was so sadly reminded of this a few days ago. I found out that a sweet friend of mine had died. She died at age 47! She was health conscience, not over weight, and was the director of our local 911 office!!! Her job was saving lives, training people to save lives,preparing people for emergencies. My husband had just played Santa Clause for her grandchildren a month ago. She had a massive heart attack and was gone.

We all have people in our lives that we love. Tell them you love them...NOW, and often. I tell my children, parents and dear friends I love them often. If you are reading this, I love you! God loves you!

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

The theme of this blog is children. I love children-all children. Tell them you love them. Tell the kids that come to church on the church bus, with the dirty shoes, that they are loved.Tell the fussy child in your class, the trouble maker in Sunday School, and the neighbor’s kids that you love them. They may not hear that from anyone else.

People are important, not things. Our lives can change in an instant, and if they do what will you count as important? If you have a loved one who is sick or hurt and in the hospital, I can assure you that your only thoughts will be on that person getting well.

Yes, we are all busy and have things to do but take time for those you love. You may be a mom of toddlers whose days seem to never end. You may be that homeschool mom who wonders “why on Earth” did she keep her kids home from school. What ever situation that you are in, step back,remember what is really important and tell them you love them...NOW!
