I think that not only is a mind a terrible thing to waste, but so is a life. We are given one chance, here on this earth, to live out our life. Sadly many of us drag our feet thinking that we can "get around to it tomorrow." Others just never seem to get out of the starting gate. But you who have experienced loss, know that we are not guaranteed tomorrow.
And I'm not talking about partying through life, just living for the moment. I'm talking about being the best that we can be and making a difference in the lives of other people. We each have so much untapped potential. God created each of us with special talents and abilities for a reason. I don't think He wants us to sit around twiddling our thumbs, waiting for life to happen to us. He wants us to go out and make it happen for us.
This journey of grief that I have been on has changed and is changing how I think about a lot of things. And the journey you are on is more than likely going to change how you think about things. You and I are facing challenges every single day. I prefer to call them challenges vs. difficulties. For me it has a more positive connotation. (Smiling) I am thankful that I do not have to face these challenges alone. I have a Heavenly Father who knows and cares about every single thing that happens to me and He is always there for guidance and help. It is mine for the asking. Maybe we struggle more than we need to because we don't ask for His help!
Time goes by so quickly, we haven't time to waste. Life becomes so much more enjoyable when we are giving of our time and talents to make someone else's life better, happier, and easier. Helping others is a good place to begin with really living our life! I hope you will take time today to do something kind and positive for someone else, expecting absolutely nothing in return. You will be blessed and so will they! And maybe, you will give them the hope they need to see the
Sunshine After the Storm
Blessings!
