A Lot of Good

I have been thinking a lot lately. That likely comes as no surprise!!! I think death can teach you a lot of good!!! It is funny how many decisions we make without having an eternal perspective. It is kind of sad actually.

Dealing with my dad's death is teaching me that people are important. I take for granted that people will be there tomorrow. This means when I am ticked or feel slighted, I often want to make sure that people know. And, now, I say why bother?!!! Why bother being ticked? And, why allow someone else the power to slight you?

If I am secure in who I am, I will be better able to love like I should. I think the Bible says to love with no guile. Without being a rug for people to walk on, there has to be a way to choose not to major on the minors.

I just keep thinking, "If "so and so" were to die tomorrow, would I really care that they said such and so or did this or that"? The answer to that is no. I'd want one more day to laugh with them, chat, enjoy life... I'd want one more day to do the things that created the friendship in the first place.

And, along those same lines if I were to die tomorrow, I would want to have lived my life to the fullest right up until that day. There are just too many people and things to enjoy to get down trodden by things that don't really matter in the whole scheme of things.

It is a good thing to look in the mirror and to know that you are exactly where you need to be in that moment in time. This morning that moment in time came early!!!!

The kiddos went back to school today. The boys were happy to get back to their friends! They actually popped out of bed VERY quickly!!!! My mom would say, "bright eyed and bushy tailed"!!!

Life is good! Some circumstances right now are bad, but life is good!!!! And, God is good all of the time!!!!
