Let us savor
life, savor all of life. Life should not be taken for granted.
If we think about
it, life is double-sided: there’s a wrong side and a right side; a sad side and a
happy side. There’s a good side and a bad side; a black side and a
bright side. So if things seem dark, let's just change our attitude
about it. Life will look quite different if we turn it best side out.
Life is like a school and we are here to learn and pass
all our tests. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear
and fade away and we learn from them. We should enjoy the ride.
Life is not Disney World and we certainly don’t want
a fast-pass. Let's make the most of it and enjoy the ride. Here
are some beautiful words of wisdom about life, let us learn from them.
When
life is over we will begin to see that our life here on Earth is almost
nothing but the sum total of every choice we have made during every
moment of our life. Our thoughts, which we are responsible for, are as
real as our deeds. We will begin to realize that every word and
every deed affect our life and could also touch thousands of lives.
Life
isn’t just about getting to the destination... … it’s about the journey.
So let us not think that we have to rush to get to the destination. The
journey is the important part, what we take time for, the people we
influence, what we learn and experience along the way.
You need to
understand that life isn't what you're given, it's what you create, what
you conquer and what you aim to achieve. |
The journey is
also where we find God and where we learn about Him. That’s what life
is about, and if we don’t take the time to get to know Him, then we
will miss the meaning of the whole trip.
Things in life
aren’t random and they don’t happen by accident. There is a wonderful
plan at work that runs deeper than we know.
God’s force flows
through life, affecting our personal destiny, and the destiny of the
world we live in. His plan is on
schedule and things are happening exactly when and where He knows they
should. There is a reason for everything.
Whatever
you give comes back to you. Whatever you take will not stay with
you.~ unknown |
There is no
beauty as striking as His, no power as potent as His, no feelings as
stimulating as His, no words as truthful as His, no stability as sturdy
as His, no strength as reliable as His, no protection as dependable as
His, no gifts as precious as His, no love as enduring as His.
So let us not rush
through life, putting aside our time with God or enjoying our family
and friends otherwise we will miss the whole point, and all that we
accomplish and go through will be for naught.
Let us make the most of
our journey by learning about Him, loving Him, seeking Him, discovering
Him and helping those around us. Before we know it, we’ll have
arrived at our final stop…...and He’ll be there waiting for us.

shall pass through this world but once. Any good that I can do, or any
kindness that I can show to any human being, let me do it now and not
defer it. For I shall not pass this way again.- Stephen Grellet
