![]() Does Anyone Care? Susie E. Caron © 4/8/ 16 Have you noticed? We're on a runaway train. Our lives have sped up and sped up, going faster and faster. Where are we headed? Why are we in such a hurry to get there? One Bible passage says "Our days may come to seventy years, or eighty, if our strength endures..." Think about that! It's not a long time. This same scripture continues to say this. "yet the best of them [years] are but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away." Psalms 90:10. Do we ever consider this? Do we care? What do we care about, or whom? Here's a quick look at a human life span from 0-70.
Yes, life is short, very short. What makes life 'worth living'? "Does anyone care? God cares. He tells us what's important. "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and with all your strength and with all your mind; and love your neighbor as yourself." Luke 10:27. [FYI, Your 'neighbor' doesn't mean next door. Your 'neighbor' applies first to your spouse and kids, as well as to others.] I care. I care and show you, through my blogs and podcasts, how to develop better, stronger, sweeter relationships with your kids. I want you to know how important that is. I want you to recognize that, on this runaway train called "life", everything else is just 'stuff'. I guarantee that all the 'stuff' will "fly away" along with the years. When it does, and you find yourself in the last car on that train, who will be there with you? This is important because only our relationships count, especially those good connected relationships with God, our spouse, our children and each other. Only when we care about one another can we sit in the Caboose of our lives, knowing that we have loved, and we have been loved, and hear these words from Our Lord. "Well done, good and faithful servant. Matthew 25:23 Today, I urge you to make priority #1, to develop better connections with God and with those you love, especially your spouse and your kids. If you're struggling with how to do this, please seek help from a pastor or counselor. If you want to gain more confidence and add some skills, read my blogs, and listen to my podcast because I care about you. I'd love to hear from you and to know if you feel 'cared about' by me. Tell me if I've helped you or touched your heart in some way? Please tell me. Post a comment here or on my podcast cafe' page, or your can write to me here: contact@susiecaron.com We're really in this life together, Twee' means you and me Caring about each other and especially our children. 4/8/2016 05:22:06 pm
I care! I do agree thought that life is too busy and we don't take the time out to really care about others. We need these reminders because life is short and we need to stop and smell the roses more often. 4/21/2016 08:53:24 am
Sue Loncaric, Thank you for your kind reply. I appreciate that you took the time to let me know that you care. More importantly I know from your words that you do take opportunities to show your family and friends that you care. I hope for you many, many hugs and blessings in the years to come.

These are from my former life with many current memories and helps for parents. I retired from teaching, became a psychotherapist treating children and families and an author. After retiring I became a full time artist. I recently reopened this parenting blog because I believe wisdom is to be shared. Author of Chidren's Books, Christian, Wife, & Mother, I want to help you build parent-child relationships, 1 blog, & books at a time. When I'm not busy creating articles or paintings, you might find me looking for dark chocolate or playing with my Boxer, Josie. Disclaimer

Blog Reviews & Thank You!
Sheila Michelle July 13 at 7:17pm · Just wanted to say that I love your posts about the different ways to connect/relate/understand your child. It has given me a new approach towards understanding my daughter and allowing HER to tell me how she feels instead of me suggesting to her how she should feel. Thanks Susie! |
