If I Left You Today... #JT

If I were to leave you today Id want you to know:
Id want you to know that I loved you enough.
Sorry if I said it too much.
Sorry if I hugged too much.
It was only so you'd know how sincere I was if this day had ever come too soon.
Id want to leave the impression behind thats stamped over my heart.
I know I was often quiet but I silently prayed all the bests for you.
My Bible was marked with all the things I wanted for you.
Id want to thank you for all the times we shared.
You made me who I am.
Id want to tell you how blessed I am to have you in my life.

If I were to leave you today Id plead you home.
Plead you to the arms of Jesus.
The only reason I made it alive.
He was and is my life.
Id tell you I loved YOU because He loved me.

If I left you today, Id say go ahead and read my journals.
The good, the bad. Maybe they'd be of good somewhere here or somewhere there.

I always thought of death but funny how when that friend you loved went away, life became that much more precious.
How quickly we fade.
How easily we forget.
To cherish every moment.
To hug once more.
To forgive.
To move forward.
To smile.
To share.
To never fear.
To give away those touch cards in the bottom of your purse or wedged in your wallet.
To stop running.
To keep listening.
To keep loving.
To say the words you thought.
To share the love you received.
To make the time for the ones you love.

Eternity is not waiting beyond us, it is there alongside us.
And one day, one we do not know, we step over into it.
To be with Jesus, the eternal promise.
To be here, to be like Him.

Take no moment for granted.
Take no person for granted.

If I left you today, I valued you.
I loved you.

In hopes you always knew.
In hopes my life affected yours.
In hopes you loved me, too.
