What Are Your Priorities?

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?
