"Don't wait til everything is perfect to enjoy your life!" - Joyce Meyer

Posted Saturday, September 8, 2007

So often in life we work and work to make everything just perfect for our families. I know one young mother that spends hours fixing her house to look like something out of a magazine. She cleans it constantly and there is never any dirt anywhere. She rushes around from morning to night. There never seems to be enough minutes in the day. When night comes she is tired and yes, even a bit cranky. She tries to spend a little time with her children but by the time they are fed, bathed and ready for bed there is very few minutes left in the day. When the weekend comes she does her best to be the perfect wife entertaining her husband and their friends. She is the perfect hostess. To the entire world she seems to have everything. Sadly she is so busy doing everything perfect she is missing the most important thing life has to give, happy memories with her family. She goes through the motions but is so busy making everything perfect she never really enjoys anything she is doing. She lives for tomorrow but doesn’t realize tomorrow never really comes because when it arrives it is today. That is why you must always live every moment like it is a present from God, because it is! Yes, Joyce Meyer says it right, “Don’t wait til everything is perfect to enjoy your life!”
