I was reading my own blogs and decided to repost this one, because at the year end, it seems we lose so many people in our lives.  So Happy reading!

As I was cooking breakfast and having coffee this morning, I was listening to Lyfe Jennings song, “If Tomorrow Never Comes”. These are the lyrics that caught my attention:

“If I could write the words I say, tell you I love you every single day.  If I could somehow turn back the hands of time, I wouldn’t waste a moment arguing, and I’d never put you through that again.”

“Cause if tomorrow never comes, and you never see me again, I don’t want your last memories of me, to be filled with negativity. If tomorrow never comes, all that fussing and fighting won’t mean nothing when it’s said and done, if tomorrow never comes.”

“And tell my kids, they will be especially missed, and if there’s anything they should learn from this, is life is a gift, tomorrow’s never promised.  If I could rewrite one sentence of my life, I would write the words I never say, tell you I love you every single day. See if I could turn back the hands of time, I would say what’s on my mind, and tell you thank you for being in my life.”

“I take it back, I take back every mean word that I ever said out of anger. And every time I ever hurt you. I take it back. I take back all the disagreements and hurt feelings, not believing in you. Tell me what can I do, but apologize to you, if tomorrow never comes.  My apologies, for if tomorrow never comes, I’ll make sure that I’m the one who says how much I wish I was there.”

Whew!  Now this song really makes you think?  What if tomorrow never comes? What if you go to sleep tonight and this is it? What if this is the last day of your life? And really, it could be. We don’t know. What will people think of you tomorrow?  What will their last memory be?  Will it be that you cursed someone out, and make them feel less than a human?  Will it be that you had an argument, and walked away and no one apologized?  Did you tell your family and your children you love them? Did you help a stranger who will never forget you? Did you speak positive or negative into the world? Did you thank God for the last day, and for all your blessings?

To my children: If tomorrow never comes, and you never see me again, you know I love you all more than life! Thank you God for lending me these 3 Angels.  We’ve had a whirlwind of life!! We live, we love, and we have always laughed.. thru good and bad! If tomorrow never comes, I’ll never regret anything, because you all make life easy!

Well if tomorrow never comes.. you can’t take anything back, and you can’t do it over..  did you do all you could today?  (Food for thought)

Have a Wonderful Wednesday?
