Lent Day 1
As in years past, rather than giving up something for Lent, instead I am going to make a daily entry here.
Today is Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent. The ashes remind us that we are made from dust, and to dust we shall return.
Nobody lives forever, and we are going to be dead a lot longer than we are going to be alive, so think about where you would prefer to spend eternity, with God or apart from God?
The answer to that question is a result of the way we choose to live our lives right here and now, in other words we are being tested.
Instead of saying you wish you could live your life over again, consider that you really can, because the test is not over yet, today if the first day of the rest of your life, so make the most of it.
About Me
- Joe
- Life is not about just me, it is about what I can do to somehow make the world a better place. I have to ask myself daily, what did I do today, make someone smile or frown? If I did the former, I am doing my job. If the latter, I have to revisit why I am here. Maybe the frown was the result of something I said for their own good, but they did not accept it. I cannot help that, because you can lead a horse to water but you cannot make the horse drink. That does not imply that I know everything, but I can only speak from my own experiences. Experience sometimes means I have found lots of ways to make mistakes, but mistakes can be the best teachers. Life is choices, I can choose to let everyone learn from their own mistakes, or share my experiences, and by doing so, hopefully help someone avoid the same mistakes.
