///// If I have learned anything in my short lifetime,it is that life should never be taken for granted. I have failed bitterly at this so many times. I get so caught up in this life,that I forget to really live. Life has taught me,through so many storms that you have to hold on to what is really important. Through loss,I have realized how much today truly counts. There may never be a tomorrow. Enjoy every hug. Soak up every,"I love you," and truly mean it when you say it back. Love those you have,because you never know the last moment you may have together. When a dear elderly person tries to give you advice,shut up and listen. Learn from all the storms in life. When they're over,and the smoke clears,you are going to realize you are a survivor and you are going to get stronger. You must never forget who you are. You are a spirit,a soul,and a human. Always remember that. Remember your humanity and do your best to offer hope to those who have none. Stay strong when you feel your world is going to come crashing down. When the tears come,let them go. Above all,you must remember Who put you here. There is a path set for you that no one else can walk. There is a task before you. He chose you. You are valuable. A precious jewel that can never be replaced. You matter. This life is not and never was easy. But that's ok,because life is one big adventure. And as in any adventure,you can't have the joys without the sorrows. One day it will all be over. I don't want to come to the end and look back at a trail of regrets,wasted time,missed opportunities,and risks I wish I had taken. I want to have really lived,not just existed. ////// ~Emily Grace
Hello Emily. So good to know you through your profile on the blogger. I am also glad to stop by your blog " The country blue Bird" and the post on it To have really lived". Very thoughtful writing about how life is so precious and to really live it not just existed. I trust that you believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and the source of your writing is the Creator and sustiner of this world who gives purpose to our lives. Well I am in the Pastoral ministry for last 35yrs in the great city of Mumbai, India a city with great contrast where richest of rich and the poorest of poor live. We reach out to the poorest of poor with the love of Christ to bring healing to the broken hearted. We also encourage young people as well as adults from the west to come to Mumbai on a short / long term missions trip to work with us in the slums of Mumbai to bring healing to the broken hearted during their vacation time. We would love to have you come with your friends to Mumbai to work with us during your vacation time. I am sure you will have a very life changing time. My email id is: dhwankhede(at)gmail(dot)com and my name is Diwakar Wankhede. Looking forward to hear from you. God's richest blessings on you.
