it's never too late

My friend and I had our own little Sisterhood thing going last night when we were discussing midlife, our kids, our marriages and the choices we have made. There are so many profound lines in Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood. We came to the conclusion that when it all comes down to it, we believe we will be asked the most important question at the end of our lives:

Did I love enough?

In the movie, Sandra B. asked her Dad, "Daddy, did you get loved enough?"

He responded, "What's enough?"

Then he asked his daughter, "My question is, did you? ... It's never too late."

Did I love enough?

We both know the goal in life isn't to be happy; It's to learn to love the unloveable. When we are tempted to run away from relationships, wherever we go we will be there. Wherever we go WE will be there. If I asked my husband and/or my kids if they were loved enough I wonder what they would say? I'm not so sure I'd want to hear the answer. At the end of the day, I can't control how well I've been loved (although I don't think we are supposed to be loved enough by anyone here on earth), but I can control how well I love people... especially the unloveable. The only One who will love us "enough" is Jesus. It's the enough that makes us desperate for the only One who is capable.

"The road back is humility."

I pray that if you do not feel like you are being loved enough, you will go to the Only One who can satisfy that need and fill that space in your heart that is meant for God alone. I also pray that we can with God's help... love the unloveable.

Please watch this:


All my love,
