The world needs more TIME
to spend differently
more smiles to open hearts that have long been closed
more hugs to fill the holes we don’t even know are there
more listening to help us understand each other better
more laughter to heal the hurts deep inside us
more fun to enjoy our lives and know that God cares
to spend more wisely
more late night conversations with the son getting ready to leave for the military
more team cooking with the son with the weight problem
more walks with the dog – just to see her jump up and down when I grab the leash
more meditation to know my God and his will for me
to spend doing what we always planned, but didn’t do
more exercise and Yoga to help my body NOT act 50 years old
more trips to the lake to smell the green water and listen to the ducks mind their young
more camping on the beach with nothing but Coke, hot dogs, and marshmallows.
to spend doing what others need
more giving of ourselves to causes we ignored
more caring for our neighbors and their pains
to spend
more time, instead of wasting it.

Oh your camping photos made me smile. Due to the hot weather here on Canada's west coast it is so hot and dry, campfire bans are in effect. Love all your ideas here. Thanks for the nudge to waste less time!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely. To all of these.
ReplyDeleteAnd great photos!
YES YES!! Love all of these so much and thank you for linking this beauty to Finish the Sentence (and so sorry for my late comment - I went to a blog conference this weekend). Love the time and the teaching kids about food and the whole caring bits- especially for our neighbors (and ourselves).
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! Best wishes to your son joining the Marines, he looks like he will make you even prouder of him than you already are! Team cooking with your younger son is a great idea -- I'd love to feature your experiences on my blog in guest post if you'd ever like to do so!!!
