In the final month of my grandfather’s life, I had the honor of caring for him in hospice.
While there, I often wandered the halls, spending time with other patients…many of whom had no visitors, no family, no friends. And yet, they all gave me the same unsolicited gift: their wisdom. 🤍
Without exception, their words echoed a shared truth. Life isn’t about the house you live in, the car you drive, the job title, the deadlines, or the money in your bank account. None of that matters in the end.
What they regretted was not making more memories with the people they loved. Not choosing joy. Not taking chances. Not saying yes to love, to faith, to life itself.
If they had more time, they said they would’ve truly lived…taken more leaps of faith, embraced failure as part of the journey, and held tighter to the ones who mattered most.
So today, choose faith in what you can’t yet see. Look at the world through the lens of love. Connect deeply. Forgive freely. Build your life on a foundation of love, faith, and presence. That’s what endures. That’s what counts.
Every day, you have the chance to choose what really matters. So just choose it. Without guilt. And embrace the abundance you will receive in return.
Happy Monday. 🤍🕊️
