Love and Family
This page of the website goes completely away from the corporate emphasis and is written as a totally personal topic. It came to me as I heard a song and I felt a real need to share my feelings with you all.
A quotation of scripture from The Bible, 1 Corinthians 13, beginning at Verse 8 reads:...
"Love never fails...", and the scripture continues to it's conclusion in verse 13, "And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is Love".
My intention is not to write this as "Religious Teachings" but instead, one person's feelings of self and the Love and Relationship that we should have with our spouse and family. I'm a sucker for the "story telling ballads" of the Country Music genre, and what I'm putting in front of you today is something that touched me, as I listened and connected with the story teller. It hit too close to home.
Too many times in our hectic lives we forget to let our closest friends and family know just how much we Love them! And all of a sudden, it's too late. Life and health catch up with us and we leave this worldly body without having expressed our "true feelings" toward those who mean so much to us. So don't let that happen to you. Express your Love to your friends and family on a regular basis. You'll feel a whole lot better if you do.
In the meanwhile, read the following lyrics, and if you care to, listen to the song by clicking on the song title link. But most of all... regularly express your Love to those with whom you feel the closest.
This song was written by Garth Brooks and Kent Blazy, and performed by Garth Brooks in 1989. It is appropriately called "If Tomorrow Never Comes". How fitting a title. We're not promised any tomorrows... so consider seriously your Love and Relationships, today.

"If Tomorrow Never Comes" | |
Sometimes late at night,
I lie awake and watch her sleeping.
She's lost in peaceful dreams
So I turn out the lights and lay there in the
dark.
And the thought crosses my mind,
If I never wake up in the morning.
Would she ever doubt
The way I feel about her in my heart.
If tomorrow never comes,
Will she know how much I loved her.
Did I try in every way, to show her every day,
That she's my only one.
And if my time on earth were through,
And she must face this
world without me.
Is the love I gave her in the past,
'Gonna be enough to last,
If tomorrow never comes.
'Cause I've lost loved ones in my life,
Who never knew
how much I loved them.
Now I live with the regret
That my true feelings for them never were revealed.
So I made a promise to myself,
To say each day how much she means
to me.
And avoid that circumstance
Where there's no second chance, to tell her how I feel.
'Cause if tomorrow never comes,
Will she know how much I loved her.
Did I try in every way, to show her every day,
That she's my only one.
And if my time on earth were through,
And she must face this world without me.
Is the love I
gave her in the past,
'Gonna be enough to last,
If tomorrow never comes.
So tell that someone that you love,
Just what you're thinking of,
If tomorrow never
comes.
