SHOULD YOU

Here’s something good to start my week.

With all that is happening in my life right now --- malicious comments from other people, death of a dear friend… I really need to stop, breath, stop questioning God, thank Him and just continually be a blessing to the people around me.

An excerpt from the novel Tuesday's with Morrie by Mitch Albom says: "Many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they're busy doing things they think are important. This is because they're chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning."

I don’t want to be one of those people. I don’t want to be half-dead… half-asleep.

So, here I am… trying to live my life one day at a time. After all, all we really have is borrowed time. All we have is today… this moment… no one knows for sure when our clock would stop ticking for us…

So let’s make the most of today.

Here’s something that inspired me… hoping it will inspire you too.

Should you have a bad day at work…
Think of the man who has been out of work for years.

Should you despair over a relationship gone bad…
Think of the person who has never known what it's like to love and be loved in return.

Should you grieve the passing of another weekend…
Think of the woman in dire straits, working twelve hours a day, seven days a week to feed her children.

Should your car break down, leaving you miles away from assistance…
Think of the paraplegic who would love the opportunity to take that walk.

Should you notice a new gray hair in the mirror…
Think of the cancer patient in chemo who wishes she had hair to examine.

Should you find yourself at a loss and pondering what is life all about, asking what is my purpose?
Be thankful.
There are those who didn't live long enough to get the opportunity.

Should you find yourself the victim of other people's bitterness, ignorance, smallness or insecurities…

Remember, things could be worse.

You could be them.


Have a nice week everyone.

Love you all.
