Today I am sitting at work watching the commotions as our students here at Northwestern are finishing up finals and moving out. All students must be moved out of the dorms by noon Friday so many have already gone into panic mode. I see such an array of emotions as they are moving out, some so glad to get out of this place, others not quite willing to let go of the year yet. Though it has been years already I feel like it was not that long ago I was in their shoes.
I am reminded how fast times flies by. Watching the students hurry around, I want to hit the pause button and remind them this is a short season of life that will soon be gone. Enjoy every moment of the experience, it will soon be only a memory.
In my own life I need to remember the same thing. Life is short, days may seem long but the weeks seem short. I want to enjoy all of life for the good and bad. It is so easy for me to forget the small things in life like helping someone out, or just asking how someone’s day has been and truly listening.
