It’s so easy to cruise. So easy to assume our precious family and friends will still be with us tomorrow. Every day is a gift – the present. Every day has moments to remember. Moments we presume will come again. Don’t ever take for granted what you have today, because tomorrow it just might not be there.
But there are no guarantees. We have the opportunity to cherish and appreciate what we have. We have the opportunity to be grateful. We can take the time to say ‘thank you’ and we can reflect on all the blessings life brings.
The most important lesson of all is not to take anyone or anything for granted. They may be with us for a little while longer and then we say goodbye. They may move to the country or interstate for work. But whoever they are, they must never be taken for granted.
Friendship is a gift – treasure your true friends and family and say what you must – kind words or appreciation and encouragement – before it’s too late.
