Thought for the day on our morning email at school:

 

 

“Although the world is full of suffering,

it is also full of the overcoming of it.”

work is not a curse but a blessing.

LABOR/WORK/CREATE/BUILD/PRODUCE-----work is not a curse but a blessing. work is participation with Master Creator----"My Father is always working, and I too must work...must do the work of him who sent me.....I have finished the work you gave me to do.....I will take pride in my work...keep busy always in your work for the Lord..nothing you do in the Lord's service is ever useless..God is always at work in you....."  --- finally "retirement" is a useless word. the thing we call retirement is simply freedom to do worthy work beyond the need to make a living.  --- anyway, these are some thoughts to consider.....

God is Love

"The book of Ecclesiastes contains the thoughts of 'the Philosopher,' a man who reflected deeply on how short and contradictory human life is, with its mysterious injustices and frustrations, and concluded that  'life is useless.' He could not understand the ways of God, who controls human destiny. Yet, in spite of this, he advised people to work hard, and to enjoy the gifts of God as much and as long as they could. ---- Many of the Philosopher's thoughts appear negative and even depressing. But the fact that this book is in the Bible shows that biblical faith is broad enough to take into account such pessimism and doubt. Many have taken comfort in seeing themselves in the mirror of Ecclesiastes, and have discovered that the same Bible which reflects these thoughts also offers the hope in God that gives life its greater meaning." (TEV) -- the Bibles power, endurance and survival is in part because in it we find a honest account of  humanity in the most depraved and the most glorious experiences. We are mean, selfish, barbaric, yet by the Grace of  God we become gentle, kind, compassionate, merciful, forgiving, redemptive and any other characteristic of God in whose image/nature we are meant to be. FINALLY, GOD IS LOVE AND HAS SHOWN THAT LOVE IN A UNIQUE WAY IN THE LIFE AND PERSON OF JESUS CHRIST. And beyond that we manifest the Love of God when we embody His Love.

life is a special gift

life is a special gift whether it is just moments or many years. if it is many years then part of the experience is some pain, sadness, illness, sufferings old age, etc. in this case one learns to be grateful and count the blessings for they out weigh the bad stuff. in our case i am blessed with good health and grandmother suffers a good bit. this is a daily challenge for her and me. we work at it together. we are a blessing to one another and it is worth the roughness. our children and grandchildren are daily enrichment and blessing...."bless the Lord on my soul and all that is within me bless his Holy name." remember, your life is a light. let it be a light of truth and kindness and gentleness wherever you are.....
