New Year

Facebook is filled with sappys stuff, especially at Christmas and the New Year, but I realy liked this one


I have decided to do this in a little diary that a friend gave me for Christmas.

I will reflect each day on the pleasures the day has offered which will give me a good mental exercise at the end of each day.

Then as the year goes on I can dip back into it and remind myself of the richness and joy my daily life offers ... Neat idea innit

I’ve just been reminded that, while in our heads we are halfway through the book of our lives with many blank pages yet to be filled, we are Infact, every day, on the last page.

No further pages exist for tomorrow, only plans and hopes for a continued story.

We have no idea if our book will be thick or thin, only that as each day passes, another page is added.

If we live for the things we want, the houses, the cars, the holidays, then we spend all our time living for a story yet to be written on pages that don’t exist.

If we live every day for what we love and believe, every page is filled with our efforts.

Every page is rich.

A thick book doesn’t mean a better story or a thinner book a story unfinished. The quality of the story is determined by the spiritual quality of our life; in love; in effort; in making the most of what we have on the pages we write today.

And at the end of the day, thanking God for the pages we’ve had and acknowledging that it’s his power, not ours that will give us another day and another page tomorrow.

I have made this a post now, but I had lost access to this blog for a few years - now I have been prompted by wanting to share this to get back into the blog, and tadaaaa - mission accomplished and this "comment" is now a post of its own!
