Rehearsal

“Enjoy life now. This is not a rehearsal.” (Bob Marley)

So many people in life are waiting for the next best thing to happen before they make plans to live their life completely (and with joy). There are so many simple things in life that I am thankful for right now. Below is some of the items on my list. Would the list you write be shorter (or longer) than mine?

·        The weather (and scenery) of the seasons where I live are beautiful.

·        The positive (and negative0 lessons I’ve learned that have made me the person I am today.

·        There are possessions I own that make my life easier and more enjoyable.

·        With bariatric surgery, I have had the ability to lose and weight. I am healthier and wearing smaller size clothing.

·        I have the ability to appreciate and acknowledge the good in myself and others.

·        I can watch shows on TV that make me laugh, think, and wonder

·        Breathing is a signal that I am still alive.

Ecclesiastes 3:1(ERV) makes this assurance. There is a right time for everything, and everything on earth will happen at the right time.” Nothing in your life (good and bad) is wasted with your heavenly Father.  He sees the entire tapestry of your existence, and knows when every event needs to happen.  God wants you to be fully engaged in everything you do. Honor Him with your actions, and point others to Him.
