Yesterday was Easter Sunday for many of us, and as I was sitting in church I began to think of all the people who surpass each sunday for other priorities in their lives until the two biggest church attendance holidays appear; Christmas Eve and Easter.
The church was so packed today that they had to move their location from the church to the local high school auditorium. Church’s also have to add services as well to accommodate all the people who choose to make this their once a year attendance …..
Why????
Why do we wait for so many events in life to be “Important” in order to make an appearance?
For example usually after Easter we go to a relatives or good family friends home for brunch or dinner. Why do we have to wait for a special occasion to meet with friends or family?
My husband and I were going through old photos and we had the same question to ourselves. We have so many wonderful friends in our lives, why do we have to wait for birthdays, weddings, funerals, graduations etc… to see them.
When you look at your life you are NOT and even no matter how much you think you are, you are NOT to busy!
I recently saw a very dear friend of mine, she was the maid of honor in my wedding and my best friend since I was 11. I had not spoken with her in two years, and for no good reason. We did not fight, we lived less than 20 miles from each other, neither of us had kids, we let excuses or routines get in the way of the wonderful friendship we share.
Time goes by whether we like it or not, so we need to make time for those important people in our lives. After seeing long lost friends and family I never think man I am happy I waited so long to see them. You always say to yourself, “why don’t we get together more often”.
The Challenge Fit Ones, is to prioritize time with friends and family. I know we are busy with family activities, work, school etc… but that makes the time spent with the people we care deeply about special. Your time is valuable, so place valuable people in your time. Instead of watching a television show, go to coffee with someone you care about, or skype with them.
Time passes us by don’t wait for the “Easter” moment to schedule time with the people you love.
