If you could describe your life, how would you describe it in 5 words?

November 9, 2023

If you could describe your life, how would you describe it in 5 words? Would it be wonderful, fun, exciting, awesome, and adventurous? Or would you describe your life as horrible, frustrating, demanding, and filled with drudgery? Could your life be filled with joy, happiness, beauty but it is sometimes hard and awful—how would you describe your life? The key to life is our attitude, our attitude is everything—we choose to be happy, mad, sad, or glad. We choose how we feel about our life! We can choose whether we see good and beauty or frustration and despair. Life is life; it is filled with times of joy that are accented by times of undeniable pain. God never promised us a rose garden—a life filled with only good and no pain. What God promised was He would be there in all situations and circumstances. Philippians 4:12-13 says, “I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or want. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Life happens—you choose what you make of it. The choice is always yours to make. God Bless. Amen.
