You see the quotes all the time, right? Don’t wait to tell someone you love them, tomorrow isn’t promised. Don’t put the important things off until another time…do them now. Do you remember the song, Only Here For A Little While? It takes all these feelings and puts them in these beautiful lyrics.
Only Here For A Little While. Gonna hold who needs holdin’, Mend what needs mendin’, Walk what needs walkin’ though it means an extra mile, Pray what needs prayin’, Say what needs sayin’, Cause we’re only here for a little while.
It couldn’t be said in a better way. It’s true for all of us. We’re all only here for a little while. Our life on this earth is short. Our kids are growing up. Our grandkids are growing up and it seems like only a couple of years ago, we were taking them to school to get registered for the coming school year. We were worried about buying school supplies and making sure everybody had everything they needed to have a successful school year. Now our kids are doing this for our grandkids. It seems like only yesterday.
When I was younger, I couldn’t wait to get a certain age. But now, each year that passes reminds me that our time here is so short. Life is too short to argue and fight, too short to hold grudges, too short to live with regrets and too short to not make the most of every single moment we have been gifted with.
We’re only here for a little while. Do what you need to do now for and with the people you love. Pray what needs prayin’, Say what needs sayin’. Cause we’re only here for a little while.
Sending you blessings of love and laughter from Sterrett, Alabama!
