You stand there waiting for life to carry you away….staring down at that one thread that is coming unraveled from your button. Why is it that the simple things in life can sometimes be so aggravating? Why is it that when you’re just floating along from moment to moment that something so small as an unraveling thread can make your world fall apart? Maybe because, like that thread, instead of addressing the problem as soon as it occurs, we quickly wrap it back up for a “quick fix”, saying that we’ll go back later and make it secure again. The problem with that method, however, is that we never seem to have the time, and each time, the button becomes a little bit looser. Each time, life becomes a little more unstable while in the back of our minds we know we should stop everything and put it to rights again. But—we don’t. The problem will continue to remain until one day when we’re not conscious of the continuing unraveling we find ourselves on our knees searching for what was lost: searching for the precious thing that we need so dearly but could not take just a few moments to repair and ensure its safety.
Life is too precious, and the people that we meet along the way and the moments that we share with them are as fleeting as the wind. If we do not do things the right way the first time we will be left breathless and bruised with only God to pick up the pieces. No one wants to be alone in this world, so take the time to think before you act. Take the time to take some distance on your situation and evaluate the intelligence of each decision. Your future is in God’s hands, but your actions turn the wheels that generate his power. Choose wisely: love others: love them well: think before you act….
That’s all I have to say about that.
