Life Doesn't End With 50!

“And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.”

Hebrews 10:24 (NIV 84)

Let us not wait until special occassions, birthdays, holidays to do good things for those we love.  Our gifts to them should be from the heart, and regular, as we are thankful for them each and every day.  Imagine a day without your loved ones.  Why wait to let them know how much they mean to you?  Let them know continually, teach them that good deeds are part of showing appreciation and love, not an expectation.

Remember when you first started dating your spouse, or when you had your first child how you lavished them with gifts, often times going out of your way to make significant attempts to surprise, wooo, and celebrate them?  Notice how as the relationship grows you pull back and these special gifts, going out of our way to surprise is no longer instantaneous... but saved for holidays, parties, birthdays and special circumstances?  Let's make a change in how we celebrate the love we feel for those in our lives... make our gifts, good deeds to them an extension of that love, and an extension of ourselves.
