LIFE….if you’re reading this you have it. It’s a gift. It’s
precious. It’s not to be taken for granted. It’s fragile. It’s short.
I
had to remind myself today of what is listed above. It’s so easy to grow so
consumed with the little, trivial aspects of life, that the big picture of life
becomes obscured. Life is not always easy. It’s not always grand. It’s not
always mountaintops. It can be bitter at times, and sweet at times. Regardless
of the situation though, God is always good.

Everyday,
make it a point to stay positive, regardless of your situation. Be happy. Enjoy each
moment of every day. Be an encouragement to someone. Be a friend. Do something
for someone who can never repay you. Pray for someone. Let someone know they
mean something to you. Love God. Love people. Everything else will fall into
place. Make the most of the time you have. Always be thankful. God bless you all.
I'll leave you with this...
"Imagine there is a bank that credits your
account each morning with $86,400.
It carries over no balance from day to
day.
Every evening the bank deletes whatever
part of the balance you failed to use during the day.
What would you do? Draw out every cent, of
course!
Each of us has such a bank. Its name is
TIME.
Every morning, it credits you with 86,400
seconds.
Every night it writes off, as lost,
whatever of this you have failed to invest to good purpose.
It carries over no balance. It allows no
overdraft.
Each day it opens a new account for you.
Each night it burns the remains of the
day.
If you fail to use the day's deposits, the
loss is yours.
There is no going back. There is no
drawing against the "tomorrow".
You must live in the present on today's
deposits. Invest it so as to get from it the utmost in health, happiness, and
success.
The clock is
running. Make the most of today."

say thank you and celebrate. And when life is bitter, say thank you and grow.”
