Today's Food for Thought (September 4, 2017)

Everything in life happens FOR YOU, not TO YOU at exactly the right moment, neither too soon nor too late. For everything you lose, you gain something else; and for everything you gain, you lose something else. You don’t have to like it, but it’s just easier if you do. And easiest if you realize God is not hiding from you. It's like when you sit in front of a fire in winter — you are just there in front of the fire. You don't have to be smart or anything. The fire warms you. God warms you.

Whatever happens to your day, just relax and manage to make a smile. Life is not a problem to be solved but a gift to be enjoyed. Make everyday your best day. Life is made of small jumps over great obstacles. It's in the courage of getting through them that makes life challenging and exciting. Never regret the choices you made, just believe in yourself and have faith. Life is not perfect. It's a blend of joy and sorrow. So wherever life leads you, it's because of a purpose. Our lives are not determined by what happens to us, but how we react to what happens. Not by what life brings us but by the attitude we bring to life. Life continues whatever happens. Faith in God is still the best armor.
