Before You Walk Out That Door

Ask yourself this question. And make sure to be honest with yourself. When your husband walks out the door, how often do you pause to say “I love you” or give him a kiss? How often do you think to yourself, “I never know what this day may bring so I’m going to make sure he knows before he walks out that door just how much I love him?”

Sometimes I wonder if we too often take for granted when our spouse closes that door he will be certain to return. Keith and I were scheduled to head to Europe this week. We were both traveling on business. But all that changed when I was brought in recently as a senior advisor on a large project. Now, I can’t leave and it breaks my heart. Not because I’ll miss Europe (I’ll still be coming in June or July) but because I’ll miss Keith more than I can express in this post.

Thinking about this last night, I became a bit sad. He’ll be gone for a week. I pray he’ll be safe. I trust he’ll return home safely. But nothing in life is guaranteed. So I’ll love him. I’ll love him every moment of every day for the next three days until he departs on that plane. And then I’ll love him every day while he’s away in anticipation of his return home. And once he comes back home, I’ll wrap my arms around him and love him every moment of every day just because…

Nothing in life is guaranteed. Tomorrow is never promised. Today is all we have to love, love, love like this day is our last. So the next time your hubby begins to head for the door, grab his hand, look him in his eyes and make sure he knows how much you love him.

Until tomorrow…make it a great day!
