To All My Family And Friends, I Love You

April 25, 2022 By Charity M. Richey-Bentley 20 Comments

We sometimes fail to realize that time is the most valuable “thing” we have. It is the most valuable possession and it is the most valuable gift you can give someone.

Spending time with our family and friends and creating wonderful memories are what makes our life worth living. Our family and our friends are our greatest treasures and they are who we should always give our time.

Materialistic items have become very important in our lives–in each part of our lives. We use devices to stay connected to the world.

We drive our nice cars and live in nice homes with the biggest TVs, the coziest beds, all the modern conveniences in our kitchens, and so on.

But don’t forget that those things are not your most valuable treasures. Your treasures are those people who live in your home or who walk through it or who are traveling life’s journey with you.

To all my family and friends: I just wanted to tell you I Love You because yesterday is gone, today will be over soon and tomorrow isn’t promised.

Because our family and friends, for the most part, are a constant presence in our life, we never stop to think what our lives would be like without them.

One day all our family and friends are happy and healthy and the next day you learn of a family member’s terminal health diagnosis. One day a friend you talk to on the phone sounds normal and happy and the next day you learn that she passed away overnight. It really happens just like that.

Cherish every single moment and never take any one of your family and friends for granted. Take a few seconds and think about every single person who is precious to you, who you love and who makes your life happy.

Let them know that you love them. As soon as you can. Because yesterday is gone, today will be over soon, and tomorrow isn’t promised.

Sending you blessings of love and gratitude from Sterrett, Alabama!

    Yes and I have always been there for other family & friends if they needed any help all they needed to do was let me know about what they are going through so I could figure out how I could help them the best loving way I could…

He gave me love , patience, kindness, courage, hope, and the strength to go on and on, no matter what. He is my hero, my Rock!! He stood by me in my darkest hour, he’s my best friend! I love him unconditionally. He gave me many gifts. I am truly blessed. God out many Special people in my life. I have 2 beautiful daughters, 13 grandchildren, and 6 greatgrandchildren. He gave me a man who I love unconditionally! I am so very grateful and very thankful for him each and every day. He’s the best thing that ever happened to me. We have so much love for each other. He knows me and he loves me for who I am. My heart is full! We work together and we help each other as need be. He makes my life a lot easier, even during hard times. Thank you again God. Yes say what you feel, tell that someone you love them for you know tomorrow may never come. Yesterday is gone, tomorrow is not promised, so the time is now. Be humble and kind. God Bless You All!!💖.

    Pause a moment, stop, look, and listen. If you believe you’re never alone. The key word in this message is believe.
