Just A Thought…EZer Said Than Done…
on November 3rd, 2009 at 12:13 amAs we come to day two of our week, here’s a little something to wind down and chew on, but first a quote:
In order to cooperate with life you must learn how to forgive, how to pray, how to give, how to receive, how to adjust; seeking nothing, giving everything, loving all people, trusting God, living each moment fully.           —Donald Curtis
We may not have all the money we want. We may not live in a fancy house or drive an expensive car.  Maybe we’ve yet to find the right man or woman. Maybe we have a few extra pounds on our thighs or belly. This does not mean life is over. Actually, it may not have begun. What we must do is live from the inside so the outside will become more fun. Give what you have in order to get what you need. Take what you get with an open heart. Let’s begin (if you aren’t already) to trust God to bring for the desires of our heart, forgive all people for what you believe they have done. Begin each day with a prayer of gratitude, love all people for who they are. Possess no things or person; speak only of the things that you want. Life is willing to cooperate with you, but you must know where to start.
All Aboard, The LiFeTrain!!!
Good Morning Chuckie,
You are so right that it is easier said than done. As I stroll on this journey called life I have learned a few things and the most important of them all is to trust our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who is the redeemer of us all. Being in the flesh holds us bound to sin but our daily walk must be to strive to reach our heavenly goal. We are often hindered in this goal because of sin but because of our relationship with God through his son Jesus Christ we are redeemed and made whole to be in relationship with God. I say those few words because I have realize that in order to trust God is to surrender our total trust in man and have faith that God will provide. I continue daily to build a stronger relationship with God and in all that most men strive for in this life (money, car, house, spouse and all the material things that we think completes us)we are lost without the safe and secure relationship with our Father in heaven and we must communicate through our personal advocate Jesus Christ who has sacrificed his life for our sins. When you live a life that brings continuous heart ache and pain in a variety of relationships (blood family, church family, co-workers, spouse, children and others) you must realize that these relationships….all these relationships are with mankind and all are capable of letting you down in one way or another. Disappointment and sin are inevitable in the flesh. I had an experience today with someone I really love and it brought me to some heart wrenching pain because I thought he was pushing me away and that in itself made me realize how much I really love this person for this disappointment to affect me in this way. Because I have had many disappointments in life and have come accustomed to dealing with those disappointments actually expecting them to happen, I had to realize that I really love him more than just words could say. I digress….Back to the slow approach to my point. Man will hurt us and disappoint us but must trust our Lord. Things and people come and go but we must trust our Lord. It is the relationship that I have with My God that allows me to forgive the hurt, write off the financial losses, leave the errors of my mistakes in the past and move forward. I do think of them but they do not hold a presence in the life I live today. I have memory of them to motivate me and push me ahead to the blessing God our Father has for me. I know I have gone through the turmoil to grow to become who God wants me to be, therefore I continue to pray that my steps are ordered by God and He leads and directs my path to where I am to be. We think we know and plan forward to our goals but God has something bigger and better than we could ever imagine. God is SOOOOOOOOOO AWESOME!!! God is our start and the end. The Alpha and Omega!! That’s definitely where we should start.
Sorry, didn’t know it would be so long. You know even in writing I can be long winded. LOL
