Today's Food for Thought (October 6, 2017)

Each day comes bearing its own gifts. Untie the ribbons. - Ruth Ann Schabacker

The fullness of life comes wrapped in all sacred times – of relationships and goals and experiences that are at times enjoyable, other times difficult. When you fully appreciate that life is a gift, you will not squander a moment of it. When you understand that things do not happen to you but for you and your benefit, you will not miss the chance to return the favor to the Giver. By living consciously and purposefully no matter the roadblocks and miseries, you come in harmony with God – the Giver. And He blesses you with more; gifts of peace, love, abundance, joy, and contentment.

Life is a gift. Let us cherish the moment when we're empty but happy, tired but inspired, down but smiling, feeling lost but living for a cause. God gives us a loving Spirit so we can be a true person, not just gifted with a mind that can understand but with a heart that truly cares. He gave us two gifts: one is a choice, the other, chance. The choice of good life and the chance to make it the best. God is not unjust. He will not forget your good work and the love you have shown Him as you have helped His people and continue to help them. He will always repays caring acts. It may not be with money or goods, but often, He repays with happiness, good health, success and love. Be happy. God is always with us.
