Have you ever wondered what life would be like without your best friend?
Tonight Chris and I had a little date night....take out and a PPV movie. It was heaven (thanks mom for taking Riley for the night!) Chris even let me pick the movie; I decided finally on, P.S. I love You. I really loved this movie.
The movie really made me think about my own life. What would I do without Chris? I don't know. I think of my sister-in-law who just recently lost her husband and best friend, Mark. How does she do it?
It is easy to think about what we are going to do tomorrow....pick up the kids....do the laundry....make that dessert for the neighbor, but do we think about how we are going to show our loved ones, just how much we love them? Sure, we show them how much we love them by the things we do, but what about the quiet moments where it is just you and them, and you say, "my life is better because you are in it."
When we leave this world, everything we did, like cleaning the sink, washing the car, and yes...the dreaded dishes, won't matter. What will matter are the relationships we carry over into the next life. Sure, we still have to live now, and those monotonous things do need to be done, even the dishes, but what can I do to harvest those relationships here on this earth? For me, I am going to try and live life like we have no tomorrow. For me, that means trying to love my loved ones more, and let go of the things that do not matter. I don't want to look back and say, "I wish that I would have forgiven so and so, or told a loved one just how much they mean to me." We never know how much time we have on this earth, and I want to make the best of it, and harvest those relationships, now.
Somehow, Heavenly Father has blessed me with great people to have relationships with, so it shouldn't be too hard.
P.S. Watch the movie!

I felt the same way when I watched that movie. I loved it! It really does make you think about what if you were without your husband who is you best friend, your love and your life. I learned form that movie to appreciate him more and to always say I love you. I love your blog. You are amazing!
