-->Life Lessons
My children would occasionally ask when I sat them down, “is this a life lesson”? I think they dreaded “life lessons”. Most of us do. Yet somehow, the older we get the more we’ve learned from our life experiences. Soren Kierkegaard, that 19th century philosopher, who looked like Conan O’brien with his 6 inch hair said, “We live life going forward but we understand it looking backward”. True. Have you ever said, “If I knew then, what I know now…” however if we hadn’t had the experience then, we wouldn’t know what we know now, so that’s moot. Here’s a few “Life Lessons” I think I’ve learned through the years.
1. Life is a Gift from God, enjoy it, experience it, & embrace the days with wonder.
2. Love is too big to keep for yourself, share it.
3. Choose carefully with whom & where you spend your time, energy, & skills.
4. Learn from the past but don’t live in it.
5. Life is too short to waste it & too long if you do.
6. Be Thankful. For the good & bad, the friends & enemies, the successes & failures.
7. Remember God. Our connection to our Creator is the connection that keeps us “alive”

So simple a message but so true. The simple messages are sometimes the ones we can really grasp and understand. In my own life when I thought things were at their worst is when the Lord has shown me the most. And when I was aware of what He was showing me I got the biggest blessings in my life from what I had learned. Couldn’t help but reply to such a simple but meaningful life lesson.
