The Most Important Thing
December 28th, 2008 by admin
A few years ago I had heard a story about a survey that had been done on 100 – 100 year olds. It was along the lines of … If you could go back in your lifetime, what would you do different or change. Not one single person mentioned that they wish they had made more money, or that they wish they had lived in a better house or drove a better car.
Their answers….. They wished they could have spent more time with friends and family. Why does it take us 100 years to figure out what the most important thing is (Beside our relationship with God)?
I just got back from Mississippi visiting family for the Christmas holiday. You know… this year was not about the gifts. It was about spending time with family. In fact, Missy and I had probably one of the quietest Christmases ever, and you know…there is nothing wrong with that. We got to spend time with dear loved ones and it was nice.
Now next year…. we might go “Hog Wild” on the gifts, and there is nothing wrong with that either, as long as you can pay for them. But for now, I will just rest in the family and the quietness of Christmas 2008.
Blessing to you on your journey,
Lee
