Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
The Joy of Living is one of the most elusive of all endowments.
Why? Just watch a child and you’ll find your answer. Having a child (9-year old boy) in our home is a daily reminder.
We all, at least I do, need daily reminders of this simple fact, don’t we? Why? Because life is hard, especially in today’s challenging and uncertain world.
Every day is an opportunity to count our blessings. Anyone need a calculator?
Have been following a friend’s recent journey with cancer. Her brother-in-law, who lives with her and her husband, was recently diagnosed with cancer – seems like less than a month ago.
Waking at 3:30AM this morning, with coffee in hand, fired up the laptops for the morning routine. Checked several social media “Favorites”, including Facebook.
My friend posted this update regarding her beloved brother-in-law: “He walked softly out the door with Jesus a few minutes ago”.
Moments like these are constant reminders that life is fragile, and an incomprehensible gift.
That life is painfully challenging and gloriously wonderful.
Please pray for this Family. There’s a very special Family in mind, and you most likely don’t know them, but also most likely, you know someone just like them.
A year ago today, in what was simply another ordinary day for this Family, the phone rang that night.
“Your daughter has been in an accident”.
Their precious daughter was severely injured and she was not expected to make it through the injuries.
Somehow she did.
But in a fate most of us can’t even remotely comprehend, nine days later, she unexpectedly passed.
To go to the edge of the cliff, then pulled back from it, and then to suddenly plunge unexpectedly over, breaks my heart to think about.
In a CaringBridge update yesterday, I was reminded of this “anniversary”, and will honor their request to never miss an opportunity to tell my son or my wife, “I love you”.
That is the question. Isn’t it? It really comes down to a simple choice.
One or the other.
There is no neutral. Even if you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.
Faith. Love. Hope. God. Jesus.
For others who are still deciding, are you an example or a warning?
Have started to turn a corner and am feeling really good about the future.
The simple act of writing a few things down (for the world to see) makes one enormously vulnerable.
Being vulnerable creates a certain humility. A good humility.
This is a great place to start.
I love all my Family up in Pennsylvania. The journey of 1,000 miles begins with a single step.
Looking forward to the first few miles…..
