I think that's what we are all supposed to be learning through all of this. That's it.

This is beautiful 2ndSGW! We are brought in this world to love and be loved. I read this poem this morning, also it reminds me to love everyday.

It Looks Like An Eternity, But It's A Short Trip, Enjoy Life And Always Love ♥️♥️♥️

Barely the day started and it's already six in the evening.

Barely arrived on Monday and it's already Friday.

.. and the month is already over.

.. and the year is almost over.

.. and already 40, 50 or 60 years of our lives have passed.

.. and we realize that we lost our parents, friends.

.. and we realize it's too late to go back.

So, let's try, despite everything, to enjoy the remaining time.

Let's keep looking for activities that we like.

Let's put some color in our grey.

Let's smile at the little things in life that put balm in our hearts.

And despite everything, we must continue to enjoy with serenity this time we have left.

Let's try to eliminate the afters..

I'm doing it after. I'll say after. I'll think about it after.

We leave everything for later like ′′ after ′′ is ours.

Because what we don't understand is that:

Afterwards, the coffee gets cold.

Afterwards, priorities change.

Afterwards, the charm is broken.

Afterwards, health passes.

Afterwards, the kids grow up.

Afterwards parents get old.

Afterwards, promises are forgotten.

Afterwards, the day becomes the night.

Afterwards, life ends.

And then it's often too late.

So.. Let's leave nothing for later.

Because if we are still waiting to see later, we can lose the best moments, the best experiences, best friends, the best family.

The day is today. The moment is now.

We are no longer at the age where we can afford to postpone what needs to be done right away.

That was very good.

It all flys past us in a whizbang.

Witnessed the same as my mother passed last year. Married 71 years. As young parents, they each made an eternal decision to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. To her last words, she told us that her faith is in GOD. Dad sat by her and read from the Bible.

Thank you for the tender reminder.

it is a beautiful sentiment. but what is most important in this life, urgent really, is real-eyes-ing that Someone created you, and loves you with a love that is always beneficial and never selfish (unlike human love even at its best), and wants an eternal relationship with you. that One is not a human, obviously, but is the One who was when the world was created and came to His own (The Js), but they did not know Him (see John 1:1-13): the One we know as Jesus Christ, the Redeemer. the only Way to eternal life with the Loving Creator is to seek Him as you seek after hidden treasure. You must choose to turn toward Him. You must ASK to be reborn by His spirit. You must lay down your earthly life (such as it is) to find Real Life. This will not change your personality (who you are), but it will change the mainspring of your heart/mind/will. . which will change everything (how you think and live, beneficially!) and you will find peace and comfort that nothing in this world can provide. . not even the most perfect love relationship that you can imagine. May you be blessed with the understanding you need in these perilous times.

I told my partner that if I ever fell sick to NEVER call an ambulance, because I NEVER want to be in a hospital again. They said they would ignore my request, because 'what if'. They are injected and do not understand the gravity of the situation, the amount of killing hospitals do. Now ex-partner.

My Dad was always the smartest guy in the world. Too bad you didn't have a chance to meet him.

The most powerful message in life, could only come from that which makes life itself possible.

It's really the only power there is.

Hah. I just realized how long it’s been since I read something profound that didn’t necessitate twisting my brain into a pretzel. This feels like taking a seat after miles of hiking. Well done and thank you.
