Having your "Somedays" stollen from you.
I have already posted these thoughts on facebook but decided to repost it on my blog. This issue is definetly worth readdressing.
In my original diagnosis, I was told the grim prospect of the rare and aggressive cancer that decided to make itself part of my life. The most recent bit of news was that the cancer had metastasized into my brain which as far as that goes is probably one of the worst things you could here. I was again reminded of the fact that the the concept of "Someday" had lost most of its value to me.
Don't get me wrong. I never gave up, and never will.The last year has been a roller coaster ride of highs and lows filled with promising prospects and disappointments . At hearing this last bit of news the thought had again struck me as to how many someday propositions I had scheduled in my life, and how they had probably lost there chance of realization.
Some are ones I have no choice but to wait for. Watching my children turn into the awsome Man and Woman I know they will become, seeing the amazing things I know they are going to accomplish. Graduating college and hopefully finding the job of there dreams. Finding the Wife or Husband they will decides to share the rest of their lives with. All these "Somedays" are out of my control.
The "Somedays" that bother me though, are the ones that I thought I had all the time in the world to get to. Little things like making my garage into a wood shop for me and my Son. And not so little things like making sure all the people in my life; friends, family, and all the loved ones that God was gracious enough to place in my life; "KNOW" I love them.
There is always going to be things of the physical world that are just not going to get done but unfinished business of the soul can damage generations. There are some things that only you can fix. Once your not around , they will be destined never to be fixed. They will continue to cause pain to those left behind.
Life is not infinite. That became all to clear to me now that the concept of "Someday" has been challeged in my life.I challenge all of you to take inventory of all your "Somedays" and get on the job of turning the Important ones into "Todays".
A man who leaves this world knowing he is loved while leaving all the people in his life knowing that he loved them has had a successful life.
Just a Thought .
