Your Greatest Present

One of the greatest presents you can give yourself and your loved ones is to be present every chance you get.  Your life is not between the moments of your birth and death, but your life is between now and your next breath.  Distractions are everywhere these days, but we need to remember to look up more often and praise God for what He has given us.  So much is lost when we don’t. Time is too precious to let slip away

People who love themselves come across as very caring, generous and kind to others too. They express their self-confidence through humility, forgiveness and inclusiveness.  So seek to understand others before you attempt to judge.  Be thankful for rude, difficult people too because they serve as great reminders of how not to live. Almost everything comes full circle so be careful of how you live before others.

You won’t always get what you want in life. Nor will you always be exactly where you want to be.  But remember this: There are lots of people who will never have what you have right now.  So use pain, frustration and inconvenience to motivate you rather than annoy you.  You are in control of the way you look at life so take advantage of it and do the best you can. God will reward you for it.
