Let Love Speak Now

Why do we tend to wait until death comes

to speak of how someone has impacted our life? They deserve to hear it now…

while their heart can still receive it,

while their soul can still be lifted

by the tenderness of our love.

Life is too short to hold it inside.

Say the words. Give the hug. Share the smile.

Don’t wait for a better time to do the things…

today is holy ground.

Show love not only in what you say,

but in what you give…a gift of you that carries meaning, a kindness that lingers long after you’re gone.

Treasure the souls of people…

not their looks, how much they weigh, their titles, or what they earn…

but the light God placed within them.

that’s where true beauty lives.

Don’t wait until it’s too late to tell someone how they’ve shaped your heart, how their life has touched yours.

Let gratitude speak while they can still hear it.

Cherish the lives of those near and far, and the souls you never dreamed would mean so much until grace wove your hearts together.

Take chances on what truly matters.

Find joy in small things.

Live fully. Love deeply.

For every breath is borrowed light.

And through it all, praise God, the Giver of every precious minute of every day.
