Words we should all live by

 

 
        Slow Down Life's Not A Race
 
Have you ever watched the sunset and
colorful leaves of fall
dance upon each other 
and thought you'd seen it all?
Hurrying through this journey called
life to make it one more day,
taking time for granted trusting tomorrow 
is on its way.
Slow down life's not a race,
and our future God only holds,
there's nothing wrong with slowing 
down to stop and smell a rose.
Take a long look at the souls you love
count your blessings one by one,
rest assured there's a bend in the road
we all must overcome.
To worry changes nothing
yet robs us of life's pleasures,
let faith hope trust and love become
your greatest treasures.

Blimey, this was like being hit in the face with a cold bucket of water.

...and thought you'd seen it all. Pure quality, life has no guarantee other than after being born, we get old and die. The bit between birth and death is worth living to our best. ty
