Say What You Need To Say...NOW!!!

A few weeks ago I was touched in a very unique way by a song that was featured on the new Karate Kid movie. At first I was intrigued by the voice of the artist; but once I heard the full song, I was touched very deeply by the lyrics. The name of the song is simply "Say" and the lyrics are:  
Take all of your wasted honour, every little past frustration;
Take all of your so-called problems, better put'em in quotations;
Say what you need to say
Walking like a one-man army, fighting with the shadows in your head;
Living out the same ole moment, knowing you'll be better off instead if you would only;
Say what you need to say
Have no fear for giving in; Have no fear for giving over,
It's better to know that in the end,
It's better to say too much
than never to say what you need to say again,
Even if your hands are shaking, and your faith is broken,
Even as the eyes are closing, do it with a heart wide open, why?
Say what you need to say.
John Mayer wrote this song for the movie "Bucket List", starring Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson. It's so unfortunate that it sometimes takes a terminal illness, a sudden change in health, or even death for us to share our love and affection with our loved ones. Over the last month or so I have had several dear friends to lose some very dear people. One of my friends lost her mother and she told me later that all she wanted was the chance to talk to her before she passed away.  We don't know when the death angel is gonna come for us nor our loved ones. Therefore, let's start letting our loves one know how we feel about them, how much we appreciate them, and how thankful we are for them. We also need to forgive and let go of bitterness, anger, malice, and all negative emotions that keep us from living in peace with others. It's really time to stop living in yesterday, embrace today, and prepare for tomorrow in the event that it never comes for us, simply by making sure that we have said what we needed to say.
Peace, Blessings, and Favor
