Life is full of obstacles, frustration and heartache.

Life is full of obstacles, frustration and heartache.

November 5, 2023

Life is full of obstacles, frustration and heartache. Sometimes life is good and sometimes it isn’t. My husband said once, “Life is always about the journey, not the final destination.” If we can remember that, then we are better able to center ourselves during life’s difficulties. What is going on in your life right now? Are you having a good day, an OK day, a not so good day? Here is a perspective to think about, all any of us have is today, this very moment. Tomorrow is gone and the future is unknown, but in this moment, we can decide to make the best out of the situation or let the situation control us. The choice is ours and ours alone to make. Therefore, let us focus on our blessings, count your blessings, and give thanks, for you never know what is around the corner. Remember God is with you, God will see you through no matter what you are dealing with. Once this day is gone, you can never RELIVE IT. Because of this reason, consider this, today is the first day of the rest of your life. Enjoy. Live. Laugh. Dance. Sing. Make it the best day ever! God Bless. Amen.
