priorities

Now that I have officially moved out of my house, it is time to re-evaluate what it is I hold most dear in my life. I guess it is easy, especially with so much drama taking place, to lose perspective on the important things in life. I just went out last evening and bought my wife a bottle of nail polish. It was just a small thing, cost no more than a few dollars, but was well worth the trip to the corner store. You would have thought I just bought her a new car. She loves it when I do things that show her that I listen to her and am concerned about her needs and wants. She is the same way with me, always looking for things that she can do to show me that she loves me. I guess it is the little things like that which suffer the soonest and the most when we get overburdened with all the crap in this life that can so easily come before the priorities that should be at the top of the list. I thank God that He has been so patient with me through all of the trials and tests that I have failed so miserably at over the years; I also thank God for the mercy of my wife, Holly - who has been equally merciful and forgiving. God is so Great! I am so blessed I could not think of anything more that I could wish for than that which I have already been given. God, I pray that you keep me focused on you and those things that are most important, so that I do not lose perspective in this world.
