Living and Life

WHAT IS LOVE MISSIONS

"LOVE GOD with all your heart and your neighbor as yourself."


The Torrans Tablet


Living can be "the most wonderful thing in the world!"  But life can also make you not want to live.
On what will we choose to focus?

Living is good for me right this second. Life came into my life in the form of a brand new baby boy. What a wonderful gift from JESUS.

But living was not so good for the past ten months.  Life treated me to Hyperemesis Gravidarum, a disease in which my pregnant body rejected everything - food, water and medications. What a nightmare of ER visits,  constant nausea,  IVs, medical bills, bed rest, and fear for my unborn baby.

So living sometimes makes us praise GOD and sometimes makes us never want to pray again. Life sometimes hits people who already are down and makes them never want to get up again. What is fair about some of us having more than we need of many things, and some people having nothing?

Living has to be about more than me. Life can not revolve around what is going well and what is going wrong in my world. What I need to do is focus on the ONE WHO makes life worth living, and what I can do to somehow brighten the lives of others :)
