Don't let it pass you by...

Just yesterday, this picture was not taken. Although it seems to have been.
All too often I wait on something and then later wish I hadn't. I have always let time pass me by. I lived like there was a tomorrow. Now this picture above is over a year old. My girls have gotten older. I have let days go by and not said what I wanted to say or done the things that I wish now I had done.
Time is a fleeting thing. It is over and gone and there is no getting it back...or is there?
Once this moment is gone, yes it is over. BUT the Lord gives us so many opportunities to do it over right. Sometimes we miss it and that moment is never regained. Oh but wow when we realize that that moment is again upon us and we CAN do or say those things that we didn't the first go round.
Lets say, you are at home on a very nice fall day, cleaning and doing laundry...
the kids want to go to the park for a picnic...

Ok, when the job is done we will....the job will never be done!
There will always be SOMETHING!

Why not take 30 minutes of your entire life, today, right now or right then and do that thing you may never get the chance to do again.
The laundry will always be there~yes, one more load~so what!
Look at their faces when you say "You know what, that sounds like a great idea! Let's do it".
You will be amazed.
I know many think that there is always another chance to take a picnic.
What starts out as a picnic today may end up words and moments of a lifetime later.

I do speak from experience.
I always thought that I would get another chance to do or say what I needed to.
I would forget to say something on the way out and I would think, "oh I will tell them later".

I had someone SO special to me go home. He wasn't taken from me but he is gone.
I had one day that I truly know he heard me and felt my touch. Oh how I prayed that I had more.
I didn't. I wanted SO bad not to acknowledge it, then maybe it would not be real.
It was.
So when I gathered myself together and allowed myself to know what was going on, I said things that I had taken for granted before. But not everything. There were words and still are that I wanted to say! I wanted him to know EXACTLY how I felt. I had questions about his faith and I needed more of his knowledge on the subject.
Alas, I got a kiss and I got his words...I love you Tina.
That was his last kiss and his last words...ever.

I am still sad to this day and I am still without all of his knowledge.

Don't let the little things pass you by, for one day they may turn into big things and you will never get the chance again....

This is for Kacey Dae
...God gave me a second chance. Before I even knew it. Before time was even near or has even passed.
I had already said everything to him that I could. But when I named my gift from God after him, long before he left me,
Casey...became Kacey... on 3-30
God's gift of a brand new day....became Dae.
Kacey Dae , the name, was spoken 3 years and 4 months and 3 days,...before he left knowing everything I thought I forgot to say. She was born on his birthday. He knew that day what I felt and everything I had to say.
It is always in the day to do or say what you want to or need to.

Do it before it is too late.....
