Matthew 6:34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
One month ago my brother in-law called me, he was not feeling well and wanted me to explain what his doctor had told him. At the end of that call he said thank you and I love you, now this is not something he has ever said to me before however I knew he loved me because he loved my sister and I came with that package. Gordon was a Man of few words he showed approval or dis approval using facial expressions like when I returned home from the ARMY he nodded and gave me his famous smile and that was it so I knew he was proud. Now when I busted the tire on his prized Trans Am lol he didn’t say a word then just that look that said you are buying me a new one.
My Brother was called home June 17th 2012.
Tomorrow is not promised, but you have today! So I asked myself what will I do with each day I am gifted with. Here is my list:
1. Wake up with a smile
2. PRAY
3. Forgive
4. Show gratitude
5. Pay it forward
My Brother was proud of me and he valued me, he saw me as important to him. I learned that my brother had worth, people would come up to my sister and say,” You don’t know me but your husband saved me or my life because he gave me a JOB” and that happened over and over again. So I asked myself what am I worth. How do you put a value on ones life?
The value of life lies not in the length of days, but in the use we make of them… Whether you find satisfaction in life depends not on your tale of years, but on your will. (Michel de Montaigne)
So my Worth is Measured in how much will(power) I have! So I updated my list.
1. I WILL put a smile on my face and share it.
2. I WILL Pray everyday
3. I WILL forgive myself and others
4. I WILL show gratitude, and give thanks for my Blessings.
5. I WILL pay it forward just as my Brother did in his life.
Thank you all for reading…In loving Memory of Mr. Gordon Kirk RIP I love you Brother.
