If you don’t think life is good
consider the alternatives.
I hope you’ve accomplished everything you dreamed of in your life. If you have congratulations.
If you haven’t welcome to the real world. I also know we often dream of things that we may not accomplish.
As we get older we begin to realize many of our dreams were much less important than we thought.
Life happens and we begin to realize other things that are truly important. Finding a life partner,
holding their hand, holding your baby in your arms, all begin to show us what is really important.
Any of those other things we dreamed of pale in comparison. Nothing that you can ever own,
nothing you might ever do, nothing you will ever see can ever mean as much as the people who touch
your life. Our family and our friends greatly determine who we become.
Those who are truly lucky will have family and friends that bring them great joy. I have been unbelievably so blessed. When you have great loves in your life there will come a time when their loss will bring you overwhelming sadness. Love them anyway. That sadness is worth enduring. Loving and being loved in your life are the only way to live a lifetime of real joy.
Really
My grandmother Ellen O’Conner Foster always told me - "If you don't think it's a great day, try missing one."
My incredibly wise brother-in-law Steve Cesar says - "of the ten best days of the year, this is definitely one of them"
They are both right. Life is short. Today is ALL we have. Yesterday is gone forever. Tomorrow will take care of itself.
God's love is always true. He will never leave you. He will always be anywhere you truly look for Him.
In spite of your failures God will love you and even find ways to use you in His service.
