Live Well

Another year.  Another day forward. No resolutions - just a purpose to continue moving forward trusting, believing that GOD has everything under control.

The world is seemingly going (gone?) mad, with wars, rumours of wars, commercialism, individualism, impatience, lack of personal responsibility, intolerance......too long a list.  

Don't think too hard about it, just keep praying and try by all means to do the right thing.  Knowing the right thing is simple - would you like it to be done to you?, are you hiding what you did/want to do?, are you ashamed to tell?, are you justifying the action to yourself?, do you feel uncomfortable or pressured or guilty?

Knowing the right thing is simple enough, maybe, but sometimes quite difficult to do.  Remember - we all make mistakes. The trick is not to repeat those mistakes.  Watch, learn, share, grow...live.

Live well.  Not focusing on material, ordinary things, but on the experiences that shape us, make us better, stronger, braver.  

Live well.  Pray. Laugh. Don't think twice about giving. Discipleship is everyone's journey. Others matter, but don't allow them to change in you what you know is the best of you.  Be honest with yourself. Laugh at yourself often.

Live well.  Read a lot of books - books are great!  Interact with others - it helps the brain to grow. Drink a lot of water.  Listen to good music. Enjoy the sky - sunsets, sunrises, rainbows, clouds, the blues and the grays.

Live well. Be slow to anger, slow to judge, slow to speak, quick to listen, quick to love.  

Time is short. Live well.
