What Really Matters

At the end of the day, I often ask myself this question:

"Of all the things that are happening in my life, what is really going to matter once I have left this life and I am standing in the eternities?"

Is money going to matter in the eternities?

Is a broken dish going to matter in the eternities?

Is the latest gadget or trendiest clothes going to matter in the eternities?

No.

What is going to matter in the eternities? I think that the answer lies in our personal integrity and how we live within it. The answer is one that is given at the level of the heart.

I do know one thing that matters ~ and it matters each and every day. Not just on 14 February.

Here are some quotes from the Bard, Wm. Shakespeare:

" My bounty is as boundless as the sea, my love as deep; the more I give to thee, the more I have, for both are infinite."

" They do not love that do not show their love."

" So long as I can breathe or I can see, so long lives your love which gives life to me."

" Love sought is good, but given unsought is better."

" Love from one side hurts, but love from two sides heals."

Everything is an expression of Love, if we choose to see it that way. Even the stuff that shows up to teach us, even the painful things and the things that we don't like or understand. Love is there, a seed planted, for some future opportunity to grow.

Whether or not the seed grows is up to us...and it is a choice.

Love is where you find It...Look for It Everywhere.

May Love have Its Way with YOU! (Thanks Sao!)
