Sneak Peak: The Wisdom of Life . . .

For example: If you've been born, you've received the gift of life.

How it goes from there is dependent on so many things. So first, consider these words by Charles Swindoll . . .

“Life is full of journeys. Some are dull excursions we grudgingly take out of sure duty. Others are thrilling adventures we embark on with eyes of faith. But changes await you, changes in you. No journey is more life changing than your inner spiritual journey back to the Cross. In all your travels, have you gone there? If not, are you willing to take that first step? It's a journey you'll never regret. I can assure you, and one you'll never forget.”

Second, is to know that your life is what you make of it – so stop making excuses and do your best.

And if you are not sure how best to start, then consider this from Apostle Paul . . .

"Therefore, I urge you, brothers and

sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer

your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy

and pleasing to God; this is your true

and proper worship." Romans 12:1

Third, is after you reflect on all the words shared here, you have to decide. If you are happy with your life and the role you are filling in it - then good, continue on. But if your life is not going as well as you would like - then know you and millions of others are in this same situation. Some, and you can be a part, do as they say . . . 'suck it up buttercup" and start learning, and changing their words and actions. It's your life - give it everything that you can.

And yes – life is not easy but it is a lot easier if you pursue wisdom in moving forward.
