This isn't a marriage post. This is about the individual who is my best friend, my wife. She has this incredible way of making me want to work harder and see things in myself I never knew existed. She doesn't have to say a word; her actions, her grace, and her spirit show me everything. I’m not perfect, but she stands by me through all my growth and my many mistakes, reflecting a strength I can only admire. Something we can all learn from her.
Her presence has taught me one of the most powerful lessons in life, to live in the present. In the NOW. And that makes me think of everyone out there on their own journey. Whether you are married, divorced, solo parenting, with a partner, single, or just trying to figure life out, you are worth it, right now, exactly as you are. Keep pushing forward.
Maybe you’re a solo mom or dad who had kids before you were ready. Maybe you stumbled in a way that others judge. Remember your worth it. Sometimes we stereotype those who fall differently than we do, not realizing that a simple act of empathy, showing love is the first step in someone’s healing. We forget that when we kick someone who is already down, we are denying them the chance to see their own reflection and realize their true value is the same as ours.
When God shows us a mirror, it’s to remind us that our worth is constant, regardless of what life throws at us. You are a King or a Queen, created by a supreme being in his own image. That makes you ROYALTY, special, and deserving to be here. Let’s stop writing people off based on their stumbles. So, for those you have loved in the past, thank them for being part of your journey. They played a part in who you are today. And for the person you are with NOW, be grateful for them. Love them with everything you have, because they need you, your LOVE, today.
Today, I will love the woman in front of me with all my heart and soul. While we can’t control what the future may bring, I can control what I do today. And today, while I still can, I will choose to show up for her, like she always shows up for me.
