Life is short...... what are you doing today to reach out to others? I am preparing for our first get back into the swing Rock Group meeting this Sunday - I can't help but to look around at the folks who are doing this life digging a mote around their lives - filling it with poison and alligators - letting nobody in - nobody gets out.....what a way to live your life. People are busy and we all struggle even if we all look like things are grande - things are fine - we all have hidden struggles that we have to give to God each and everyday.
Kenny Chesney wrote a powerful song that was released today...... life for more than yourself loved ones...... there is more in life than grabbing all you can. Plans to work 5 more years and retire while putting in 90 hour weeks and your children are raising themselves .... those are plans for failure. Life is short...... engage in those around you.
Way to go Kenny..... - Enjoy the lyrics
Dont Blink - Kenny Chesney
I turned on the evenin' news Saw an old man being interviewed
Turnin' a hundred and two today
They asked him what's the secret to life
He looked up from his ol' pipe Laughed and said, 'All I can say is'
Chorus Don't blink
Just like that You're six years old and you take a nap And you wake up and you're twenty-five
And your high school sweetheart becomes your wife
Don't blink
You just might miss your babies growin' like mine did Turnin' into moms and dads
Next thing you know Your better half of fifty years is there in bed
And you're prayin' God takes you instead
Trust me friend
A hundred years goes faster than you think
(So) (But) don't blink
2nd Verse
I was glued to my TV
When it looked like he looked at me And said, 'Let's start puttin' first things first' 'Cause when your hourglass runs outta sand You can't flip it over, start again
Took every breath God gives you, for what it's worth (Repeat Chorus)
So I been tryin' to slow it down
I been tryin' to take it in
In this here today, gone tomorrow world we're livin' in Naw, don't blink
Don't blink
Life goes faster than you think
Don't blink Life goes faster than you think
