Life ....

Life is hard. Life is complicated. Yet life is a wonderful experience. Life is meant to be lived, explored and embraced. Life is filled with up and downs, highs and lows, hopes and despairs.

There is no set explanation of life or even instructions on how to live life, for it is different for each person.  How boring would life be if everyone lived the same life? Pretty darn boring.

We are given this life to live. We are only given so many days. It is up to us to use those days in ways that only we can decide. Yes, some have lives that were changed in ways they could not control. It is still up to them how they choose to live those days after.

The bible says we are not promised tomorrow. So how will you live your life today? How will you be remembered when your days have come to an end? Will you be remembered for your wealth? You bad ways? Your good deeds? Your smile? Your laugh? Will people even remember you?

No, we should not live our lives to please others. We should in fact, live our lives to please God and to live in such a way that others see Christ and His amazing love and grace through us. Does this mean you should be a bible thumping, corner screaming christian? Well hey, I say, that is between you and God.  There are lots of ways to share God's love with others. Even the smallest gestures can speak volumes!

So live your life! Enjoy each day you are given! Smile at a stranger! Hug your children and loved ones! Be extra kind to the elderly! Say "I love you!" more, even if you don't hear it in return!

Enjoy your day!!
