You Don’t Just Lose Someone Once.
You don’t just lose someone once.
You lose them when you close your eyes at night.
And as you open them each morning.
You lose them throughout the day.
An unused coffee cup.
An empty chair.
A pair of boots no longer there.
You lose them as the sun sets.
And darkness closes in.
You lose them as you wonder why.
Staring at a star lit sky.
You lose them on the big days.
Anniversaries.
Birthdays.
Graduations.
Holidays.
Weddings.
And the regular days too.
You lose them in a song they used to sing.
The scent of their cologne.
A slice of their favorite pie.
You lose them in conversations you will never have.
And all the words unsaid.
You lose them in all the places they’ve been.
And all the places they longed to go.
You lose them in what could have been.
And all the dreams you shared.
You lose them as the seasons change.
The snow blows.
The flowers blossom.
The grass grows.
The leaves fall.
You lose them again and again.
Day after day.
Month after month.
Year after year.
You lose them as you pick up the broken pieces.
And begin your life anew.
You lose them when you realize.
This is your new reality.
They are never coming back.
No matter how much
You miss them or
Need them.
No matter how hard you pray.
They are gone.
And you must go on.
Alone.
Time marches on, carrying them further and further way.
You lose them as your hair whitens and your body bends with age.
Your memory fades.
And the details begin to blur.
Their face stares back at you from a faded photograph.
Someone you used to know.
You think you might have loved them once.
A long time ago.
Back then.
When you were whole.
You don’t just lose someone once.
You lose them every day.
Over and over again.
For the rest of your life.

It is hard to convince your children that the church is the most important thing in the world when you are negligent about attending its services and supporting its work. It is hard to convince your children that the church is the greatest institution in the world when you permit them to miss services to go elsewhere. It' hard to convince your children that the church is to be held higher than any- thing when you insist that they go their homework for public school but permit them to neglect their Bible study, It's hard to convince your children that the church us the most important institution when you give little to help finance its work and encourage them to do likewise. It is hard to convince your children that they should respect the church when you continually criticize the leadership, belittle the teacher's work, and appear a habitual faultfinder. It is hard to convince your children the work of the church is important when you have no part in what work is being done, either financially or personally. It is hard to convince your children sin is a serious matter when they know you do things that are wrong, and you are not concerned about making the necessary corrections in life. It is hard to convince your children there is really a heaven, and a hell, when they realize that this life is the most important thing there is to you, and they do not see you making much preparation for a life after death. It is hard to convince your children you do not ever try to convince them of much of anything-just let them do their thing. THE MEASURE OF WHO WE ARE IS WHAT WE DO WITH WHAT WE HAVE. YOUNG, OLD, OR IN BETWEEN, SO WE ALL NEED TO LIVE A GOOD LIFE AND DO OUR BEST TO LIVE FOR GOD.THOUGHTS:
WE MUST OBEY GOD RATHER THAN MAN (ACTS 6:29)
STOP --------------------------Drinking HIS water.
STOP--------------------------Breathing HIS air.
STOP--------------------------Warming in HIS sunshine.
STOP--------------------------Cooling by HIS breeze.
STOP --------------------------Plowing HIS earth to make your bread.
