Challenge to Readers


I know there are people who read this blog but don't comment, but today, I would really like to challenge everyone reading to comment. I am going to leave this post up for a couple days because I am curious to read some of your responses to the following word. I wonder what you think of when you read or hear the word, what you feel, what the word means to you, or doesn't mean to you. No, this isn't a psychological experiment, just a curious writer who has been contemplating the many aspects of life while being sick the past few days.

The word for the day is:

You know me, I comment like crazy. Like a friend crazy to join your voice in lifting up our Redeemer.

LIFE.

I recently heard something like this...you don't know how to really live, until you know how to die.

Now, I am not being morbid. It is the Truth.

For me, LIFE means...
- doing the most you can with what God has given you (time, money, talents...)

- and by doing the most, you mustn't forget the least (because they are the most, really--precious widows, wondrous children, the poor, the unsaved)

L love
I intentionally
F for
E eternity

LOVE others (as God commands us to do),

INTENTIONALLY (on purpose and by going out of your way to do it),

FOR (because now is now & others need to see God's love lived out right this minute)

ETERNITY (means forever & they need to know that "life" if just the starting line).

Love & Blessings,
Darlene

For me Life means living with Jesus. I don't know if I could do this living thing without him daily.

Life - its a precious gift we have been given - it should not be taken for granted. Life even with the struggles, frustrations, and disappointments lived by a Christian is a great life (and for Christians it will be an eternal life spent with Jesus Christ. Get to know Him - your life will become more meaningful and you will value other lives which has been lost in our country.
