thoughts of the day..

Today in church, a couple spoke who were once worth 8 million dollars...they are now worth {negative} 2 million dollars. It was very humbling to hear them talk about going from having it all, to having very little. They said they learned that it is not how much you have in the bank that matters, but it is your relationship with your family, friends and God that is what is truly important. Time goes by so fast that many times, we forget to stop and think about the simple things we have, which when it comes down to it, are the most important. I know I take many things for granted that I shouldn't. Like they said, in twenty-five years, it will not matter what car you drove to drop your kids off at soccer practice or how big the house was that you lived in. Those things are temporary. I need to remind myself of this more often. Most people like nice things...I know I do; however, those things do not define us as humans. The next time you are having a hard day and nothing seems to be going right, take a moment to appreciate the little things. It will put everything back into perspective. :)

Happy Sunday lovelies!!
