If I Knew
If I knew it would be the last time that I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly and pray the Lord your soul to keep.
If I knew it would be the last time that I would see you walk out
the door, I would give you a hug and kiss and call
you back for one more.
If I knew it would be the last time I'd hear your voice
lifted up in praise, I would video tape each action and word,
so I could play them back day after day.
If I knew it would be the last time, I could spare an
extra minute or two, to stop and say that "I love you,"
Instead of assuming that you KNOW I do.
If I knew it would be the last time I would be there to
share your day, well, I'm sure you'll have so many more,
so I can let this one slip away.
For surely there's always tomorrow to make up for an oversight,
and we always get a second chance to make everything all right.
There will always be another day to say our "I love you's"
And certainly there's another chance to say our
"Anything I can do's."
But just in case I might be wrong, and today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you and hope we never forget.
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance you get to hold your
loved ones tight.
So, if you're waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes, you'll surely regret the day,
That you didn't take that extra time for a smile, a hug, a kiss,
And you were to busy to grant someone,
what turned out to be their one last wish.
So hold your loved ones close today, whisper in their ear,
Tell them how much you love them,
And that you'll always hold them dear.
Take the time to say "I'm sorry" "please forgive me,"
"thank you" or "It's ok."
IF I HAD MY LIFE TO LIVE OVER
by Erma Bombeck
I would have talked less and listened more.
I would have invited friends over to dinner even
if the carpet was stained and the sofa faded.
I would have eaten the popcorn in the "GOOD" living room
and worried much less about the dirt when someone wanted
to light a fire in the fireplace.
I would have taken the time to listen to my
grandfather ramble about his youth.
I would never have insisted the car windows be
rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been
teased and sprayed.
I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like
a rose before it melted in storage.
I would have sat on the lawn with my children and
not worried about grass stains.
I would have cried and laughed less while
watching television and more while watching life.
I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead
of pretending the earth would go into a holding
pattern if I weren't there for the day.
I would never have bought anything just because it was
practical, wouldn't show soil or was guaranteed
to last a lifetime.
Instead of wishing away nine months of pregnancy,
I'd have cherished every moment realizing that the
wonderment growing inside me was the only chance in
life to assist God in a miracle.
When my kids kissed me impetuously, I would never have
said, "Later. Now go get washed up for dinner."
There would have been more "I love you's"... more
"I'm sorry's" ... but mostly, given another shot at life,
I would seize every minute ...
look at it and really see it ...
live it ... and never give it back.
THINK
This is SO True
Here are some wonderful relections that made me think.
I hope they are food for thought for you too.
Funny how a $100 bill "looks" so big when you take
it to church, but so small when you take it to the mall.
Funny how long it takes to serve God for an hour,
but how quickly a team plays 60 minutes of basketball.
Funny how long a couple of hours spent at church seems,
but how short they are when watching a movie.
Funny how we can't think of anything to say when
we pray, but don't have difficulty thinking of
things to talk about to a friend.
Funny how we get thrilled when a baseball game goes
into extra innings, but we complain when a sermon is
longer than the regular time.
Funny how hard it is to read a chapter in the bible,
but how easy it is to read 100 pages of a best selling novel.
Funny how people want to get a front seat at any game or
concert, but scramble to get a back seat at church services.
Funny how we need 2 or 3 weeks advance notice to fit a
church event into our schedule,
but can adjust our schedule for other events at the last moment.
Funny how hard it is for people to learn a simple gospel
well enough to tell others,
but how simple it is for the same people to understand
and repeat gossip.
Funny how we believe what the newspaper says,
but question what the Bible says.
Funny how everyone wants to go to heaven provided
they do not have to believe,
or to think, or to say, or do anything.
Funny how you can send a thousand 'jokes' through e-mail
and they spread like wildfire,
but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord,
people think twice about sharing.
FUNNY, ISN'T IT ?
Are you laughing?
Are you thinking?
Actually, it isn't funny at all!
Spread the Word and give thanks to the Lord who is good!
Share this with a friend!!!!
Thank you SHIRLEY aka-ANGEL for sharing this with me

And if tomorrow never comes,
you'll have no regrets about today.
