Cowboy Stealing My Heart Quotes

“It’s just moment by moment. If the idea of days or weeks or months or years is too hard, just be determined in the next second to do the right thing. Pretty soon, those seconds add up. They become decades, and you’ve done the right thing for decades. We’re young, we can see five decades together, even more. And every second is a choice to build on the last, until you have those five decades. That’s what I’m looking for. Two rocking chairs, two old hands twined together, two toothless smiles, two sets of ears that don’t hear anything anymore, eyes that can barely see, but hearts that still love. Not the lustful, passionate attraction kind of love, but the self-sacrificial, the putting you ahead of me, the thinking about you, and knowing you better than I know myself, and wanting to do everything I can to make you smile, keep you secure, protect you, and live my life in a way that honors you and glorifies God kind of love. That’s how I will love you.”

“When God puts something in your path for you to do, you need to do it. Because the work God gives you is eternal work. With repercussions that last for eternity. That’s far more important, although it seems less urgent than the normal everyday work we have.” He didn’t know how else to explain it. “Sometimes we get so focused on what we want or what we think is going to make us look good—to other people—and we ignore the things, or don’t even see them, that God has given us to do. The people He’s given us to love and care for. To be true friends to. To sacrifice for.”
