James 4:14 (NKJV) 14 whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Sometimes it’s the simple\u00a0things in life that touch the hearts of others.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

I was visiting a nursing home a couple of weeks back. I met all kinds of wonderful people. I smiled with them and talked with them. I really enjoyed being around people I didn’t even know. By the time I left I was hugging and kissing them goodbye like they were my own family.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Some of these people were in wheelchairs. Others were able to walk around. Some could not get up at all. Regardless of their condition, I was blessed and honored to be able to spend time with them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

What a joy it was to\u00a0listen and take it all in.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

There was one lady in particular that I had gone to visit. I’ve known her for years. She was always the kindest, nicest lady and she never had a bad word to say about anyone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

How things change. Now she can barely hold a coffee cup in her hand without spilling. She cries for her mother and she can barely remember anything.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

I looked at this woman and thought to myself about how well\u00a0she has\u00a0done throughout\u00a0her life. And now it is our time to hold her and help her\u00a0finish her last days here.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The simple things in life are so beautiful. And spending time with people that are getting older is one of them. We don’t have to have a lot of money or big gifts to bring. Just bring ourselves.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

She and all the rest of them gave me a hug as I was getting ready to leave. Even though I didn’t know most of them, I already miss them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Time goes by\u00a0quickly. If there is someone we need to love on, we need to go after them and make a way to see them. We don’t know what tomorrow brings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
