I was up early again the Saturday before Easter. It is always a time when I can really think therefore study the best. As I sat at my computer I started writing down some things...then one thing led to another and before I knew it I had my whole thought process right in front of my eyes. I know, I know, amazing isn't it...a whole thought process. I really hesitate putting things like this on my blog because it makes me feel so vulnerable but, I like to write and sometimes I like to share...sometimes... Anyway, here is what I came up with. ( This was supposed to be posted last Sunday...something happened to my thought process)!
What Matters Most
It is not so much about who you are,
but what you bring to the people around you.
It's not so much about what you believe in but what effect your
beliefs will have on the future generations.
It is not always so much about the things you do as a family but,
more about what your family has done for others.
It's not so much about being friendly as much as it is about time itself.
Friendship requires time.
It is not so much the phone call
as much as it is the follow through.
It is not so much the kind words
as much as it is the action shown after the words are spoken.
It is not so much to be a part of something
as it is to truly feel like you belong.
It is not so much to stand at the front of the line
if you haven't experienced being last.
And, it is not so much about being last
if you haven't given up just about everything to be first.
It is not so much about the things that you have but
more about what you do with the things that you have.
It is not so much about how you feel about a situation but
how you make others feel in that situation.
It is not so much about letting it all out,
as much as it is about keeping it all in.
It is not so much about learning all there is to know but
knowing what is important enough to learn.
It is not so much about making mistakes but
more about learning to forgive
It is not so much about how long He was here but,
that He came at all.
And it is not so much that He came but,
that He will come again.
but what you bring to the people around you.
It's not so much about what you believe in but what effect your
beliefs will have on the future generations.
