Meditate. Consider the life God has given you.
Hear my prayer, O LORD! Listen to my cries for help! Don't ignore my tears. For I am your guest—a traveler passing through, as my ancestors were before me. Leave me alone so I can smile again before I am gone and exist no more. Psalm 39:12-13
Life is short. There is no doubt
about that. Oh, some people may live to be over one hundred years old—one of my
Dad’s cousins is 101, but most of people’s life span in the US is 76 years for
men and 81 years for women. For other countries, it is similar…Germany 80
years, Portugal 79 years, Canada 81 years, Russia 70 years. We are but
travelers passing through this land as a guest of God. Everything we have is
from Him.
…. What do you have that God hasn't given you? And if
everything you have is from God, why boast as though it were not a gift? 1
Corinthians 4:7

Are you grateful for your existence here? How is your relationship today with God?
Prayer ~ Thank You Jesus for my
very existence…and for amazing variety of plants and animals that You created.
I am grateful for being alive here on earth as I pass through this lifetime…and
for all that You have provided…food, water, shelter, family, friends…and all
that we require just to exist. When I exist no more here…then I will be with You,
forever in eternity.
Verse of Salvation ~ God, for whom and through whom everything was made, chose to bring many children into glory. And it was only right that he should make Jesus, through his suffering, a perfect leader, fit to bring them into their salvation. Hebrews 2:10
Think smiling, not sad
