Love You to the Moon & Back

The moon is slowly drifting away from Earth at a rate of about 1.5 inches per year. This means by the time I’m 70, that’s 40 inches. Impressive. But what’s more impressive is the guy whose job it is, to fly to the moon with a measuring tape, and the guy whose job it is, to hold it, on the other end, in Houston. But that’s beside the point. The fact is things move apart.

So what does that say about life? It says a lot. For starters, failed relationships are a moon. Somewhere the person looses their gravitational pull by taking another for granted. Now, while 1.5 inches seems harmless, it isn’t. Just picture Earth without a moon. Likewise, picture you without God. Or worse, you without the people he gave. It’s jarring to the eyes. So, here’s what to do, instead. Love intentionally. Embrace those drifting towards you and ignore the ones who aren’t. And you’ll be fine.
