Learn from life...

There are so many things that we can let into our lives that will not enrich it in the least. Sometimes we let work, friendships, relationships, and just plain stress get the best of us. What I have started to learn from life is something that I have known for over 20 years. You must learn from life and appreciate every moment of it. There are so many people that have passed on that dearly wished they had just one more day to smile, one more day to put their arms around a loved one, one more day to say i'm sorry. Shame on us for getting caught up in the hustle of life to not sit back and bask in the glory of God. The glory of the blessings that we are all afforded. The beauty that God surrounds and protects us with.
I am learning that there isnt always a right or wrong answer. You must make the most of the cards that you are dealt with and play that hand as if it were your last. Pray throughout the day and thank God for what you have been given. Cherish your children because one day they wont be children that you can mold anymore. Love beyong boundaries because love is not promised to everyone. And most of all laugh. Laugh at yourself, at others, and at your kids.
Become a reporter of your life. If you dont have a camera get one. If you dont have a web cam get one. If you dont have a blog start one. Because when you are gone you want people to remember you. You want to have a voice when your's cant be heard anymore. You want to tell people you love them when you cant anymore.
I am 34 years old now and the greys are steadily creeping into my profile. Some have told me to dye it, others have told me to cut it. But honestly I admire it. I admire the fact that I have came this far and God is still teaching me the right way to go.
I thank God for my family and friends. I thank everyone whom God has surrounded me with to enrich my life. I forgive all of my enemies and people that would much rather see me fail than succeed.
Drama only shortens your life. Jealousy only devalues your life. Violence only ends your life.
Love is the exact opposite of everything negative. Be a blessing and God will continue to bless you....
