I can still remember people telling me as a young man that time will fly by and before I know it the children will be out of the house. I can still remember thinking... "Old people have lost their minds!" I can't get to success fast enough. I wanted bigger and better and it never seemed to get to me fast enough! NOW... in the middle of my life I have one child in college and one entering high school. I look at all the people with little babies and start to think about all the things already behind me. I can't believe the old people were right!!!!
I don't know if anyone will ever see this but I needed to say it, so I'm saying it, "Parents, success at work is wonderful but it's my family, our memories, my investment in their lives, dates with my wife, road trips with my family, simply games with the kids, and their passion for Jesus that I hold onto the tightest. Invest in your faith and family at every stage, or each transition in life will be moments of regret, rather than moments of celebration! Take it from an old person who has lost his mind!
