So, yes, I am crazy! I watched p.s. I love you back in December right after finding out we were expecting and I bawled–I am serious. I cried so hard I went through a box of kleenex for this movie. BUT….I absolutely love it so Brittany I watched it again this past Sunday and yes, I started crying before it even started. Insane! Yes! And I could watch it again. I think I’ve determined why it is so sad…..for one, they must have really had a special love. You could just see it, especially when she reminisced on when they first met. Then, he planned everything out for a year! WOW! Now that’s a man who truly loved and adored his blessed wife. Things just kept happening and falling into place throughout the movie which added to my magical love story. Of course, it is a movie and I’m sure these things don’t happen in real life so I should probably stop comparing my love life to theirs. What this movie also makes me realize though is that we never really know when our time is coming that we will go home to be with the Lord. Sure, if you are terminally ill, you know its coming more certainly than the person who gets in a tragic accident. While everyone wishes they are taken away quickly, it really made me ponder on what a blessing it is for those who might have an illness. Their families can prepare, they can plan, and most importantly say their good byes. Someone who is taken so suddenly from your life leaves the griever with so many what ifs. I guess my point is, we REALLY should live our lives to fullest, tell those around us that we love them and REALIZE that everyday is a blessing. No more complaining about how our day is going, no more being mad at someone, or wishing for something more. God is giving us what he wants, not what we want. I wish the world could grasp that better. We are here to live out his purpose and give him glory! Your holiness is more important than your happiness…..think about that for a minute, or two. What is unseen (eternal home) is more important than what is seen today (temporary happiness). Are you living your life to God’s fullest? Are you in search of your eternal home or feeling good and being happy in today’s world? Do you complain too much about your circumstances? Do you wish for something more…job, money, spouse, material possessions? I know I’ve been just as guilty but if we keep our eyes on the prize maybe it will be worth it in the end!
Live your life to God’s glory….you might just be surprised at what happens!
Love,
Jenn
