Priorities...do you struggle with
them each and everyday? Nothing is harder than to look in the mirror each day
and see the mistakes you have made. If you are reading this then YOUR story is
not complete, It is has not been fully written. Change is still possible and
YOU can still take control of your priorities. To many of us live our daily
lives seeking Fame, Fortune, Recognition, Rewards, Comfort, Material Things and
Financial Security. On your deathbed are YOU going to invite others to come see
your photo album with all your plaques that you have won over the years or tell
them to go look for your trophies you have stuffed in a box in the garage.
Nope, all of the sudden those things are not important. Instead, at the end of
our lives we ask for family and friends to come see us. These are the same
people who have been there all along but we were worried about other things.
I tell my Airmen all the time
that even though we give 110% to defend this country each day and as great as
it feels to be doing it, they should NEVER let their work come before their
families. If they do I tell them they will regret it.
We need to remember that we never
know how long God will give us with the family and friends we love. It could be
days or weeks. Sometimes it doesn't seem fair, but we need to remember not to
take life and love for granted! We need to get our priorities straight. Is this
your story? Is it time to shift the priorities?
