I have friends much more adept at blogging than myself-who frequently remind me that the purpose of blogging is to actually write....so here I go, months after my first post attempting to enter the digital world with some finesse! My thoughts for the day are centered on the lessons I am currently learning from the Lord, my sister with cancer, and others who are influencing my life. My friend Diane Cunningham posted this today on her Life Purpose Coaching Site:
LEARNING FROM LIFE
What NOT To Do in 10 Easy Concepts
Life Lesson #1 Life is not all about you.
Life Lesson #2 Life is not about sitting on the bench.
Lilfe Lesson #3 Life is not about winning.
Life Lesson #4 Life is not about whining.
Life Lesson #5 Life is not about money.
Life Lesson #6 Life is not about your title.
Life Lesson #7 Life is not about your past.
Life Lesson #8 Life is not about revenge.
Life Lesson #9 Life is not about doing more.
Life Lesson #10 Life is not OVER!!
What do you need to LEARN today?
Which leads back to me and my poderings on what I've learned so far:
Life Lesson #1-From my current study in the book of Esther-an affirmation that we are created with a purpose and it is to glorify the Lord in the unique way and time He has made for us. It's not an easy path, but it is a Chosen path.
Life Lesson #2-I can decide if I travel my path or not.
Life Lesson #3-God's purpose for me always includes others.
Life Lesson#4- Nuff said
Life Lesson #5-God is the provider-period.
Life Lesson #6- so true, so true, but, as in Esther, sometimes the title is the way God chooses to use me.
Life Lesson #7-My past does NOT determine my future.
Life Lesson #8-Revenge in my life leads to roots of bitterness which rises up to defile many. Not my best option.
Life Lesson #9-Be still and know that I am God.
Life Lesson #10-Not only is it not over, but it is a predetermined position. There is rest in knowing I am not in charge, that God does see the whole picture, and He loves me best... and not only me but my sister and her family, my divorced parents, the guy down the street that doesn't think like me, the mean kids, the prodigals.
So, what do I need to Learn today? How to love.
