Making a Life

If you find it too difficult to look at your life and think about where you want to go and what you want to accomplish, then dealing with one day at a time is easy.
No sense worrying about tomorrow's problems.
Here's the better idea.



You are not making a life just for today, you are making a lifetime from it.
That means everything you do, every decision you make today is like a single thread in the fabric you are weaving. Those threads together form a pattern.
Be guided by the principle that you become a thread in someone else's pattern by how you interact with them.
All of us woven together over a lifetime become the patchwork quilt generations after us must build on.

If you have faith don't just apply it randomly. Often times we do the right thing when it doesn't take much effort.
Making a life means being faithful.
Have fun.
Take time to be silly. God loves the child in us, not just the children.
Making a life means living fully. Laughing often.
Love.
Take time to love unconditionally. Our faith tells us to love one another not just a select few. Not just those who are like us. All people.
Making a life means loving the life in others.
Finally, sacrifice.
Stop asking for what you can get, ask what you can give, what you can do.
Making a life means giving life to others.

"You are not making a life for a day, you are making a lifetime from it.
