Gone In A Second
As I was walking along the beach yesterday, I started looking down at the foot prints being left by the person in front of me. I was thinking of the mark that person was leaving in the sand. As soon as a wave came in, the foot print was gone. Just like the beach, we all make a mark in this big beach called life. The mark may only be there for a few seconds, but you still left a mark. That mark is sometimes just a smile or a little laugh with someone. To me, it’s not the size of the mark that matters but all about knowing that you are leaving a mark.

There are so many that go through life thinking they do not matter or that they do not leave any kind of mark. Well DAMN IT, you do matter to me and do leave a mark in this world every day. Every single second of our lives makes a difference in the grand scheme. The good Lord did not put us here to take up space. He put us here to leave our unique and one of a kind mark. Just like the sand on the beach, some of our marks are short lived, but they are still marks.
You will leave many marks in the world today. Some you are conscious about and others just happen. The wonderful thing is knowing you will leave them. Make a choice today to leave a positive mark.
