Just One More Thing - Sara Groves

There's always just one more thing
There's always another task
There's always I just have one more small favor to ask
And everything is urgent and everything is now
I wonder what would really happen if I stopped somehow
I'll be there in a minute

Just a few places to go
You wake up a few years later and your kids are grown
And everything is important
But everything is not
At the end of your life your relationships are all you're got

And love to me is when you put down that one more thing and say
I've got something better to do
And love to me is when you walk out on that one more thing and say
Nothing will come between me and you
Not even one more thing

There will never be an end to
The request upon your time
It's your place to stand up and tell the world
You've got to rest awhile
And everything is important
But everything is not
At the end of your life your relationships are all you've got

And love to me is when you put down that one more thing and say
I've got something better to do
And love to me is when you walk out on that one more thing and say
Nothing will come between me and you
Not even one more thing

I love this song because it reminds me of how important relationships are.

"And everything is important
But Everything is not
At the end of your life your relationships are all you've got"

Those lines are so true. At the time everything in our lives seems so important, but in the long run the friendships we build together and the hearts that are knit are the things that last forever! God doesn't care if we got to the grocery store on Monday, He cares that we stopped and prayed for the friend who called and was struggling with doubting His will. He doesn't care that we were late to that party, He cares that we comforted our little sister who was sad that we were leaving and explained that we would be back later. When we stop to take this time out of our busy day are relationships are made stronger.

Lord, help us to remember this. Help us to remember to put others first, because that is what you did. You came not to be served but to serve.
