Life Is...

Life is a gift. Not only for our own use, but also to be a blessing to others.

Life is an adventure. Sometimes life is like a picnic in the shade of towering pine trees on the bank of a gently flowing river. Or it may be like being on a boring treadmill. Other times it will be like a wild roller coaster ride.

Life is a mystery. We never know all of the answers. Trust God to do the right thing.

Life is a game. We win some and lose some. But things work out better when we know and follow the rules.

Life is a struggle. The going is not always easy, but God promises to be with us and gives the strength to carry on. Claim that promise.

Life is beauty. There is beauty all around us. Take time to enjoy and savor it.

Life is about loving. Honoring God. Accepting & developing ourselves. Investing in those around us.

Life is circumstances. We cannot change the circumstances, seasons, or the wind. But we can, by the choices we make, overcome adversity, and use it as a stepping stone instead of a stumbling block.

Hey Brian! Yep, today is Monday alright. I subbed for the Dance Aerobics class and totally bombed! Was sorta sick over the weekend and felt dizzy & weak trying to do the routines. Oh well, win some- lose some I guess.

Kristen, well there are times when I just want to crawl into a hole, but somehow the light always breaks through to me. :o)
