Aristotle, Rhetoric
Life is beautiful. There's just something about it! I'm alive, and I'm glad of it! You only get this one chance at living, and soon it will be gone. Soon I'll be leaving for college just like my sister. Soon I'll be buying my first house. Soon I'll be in a rocking chair holding my first grandchild. (Well, maybe not that soon.) But life keeps coming at you. I'm going to miss her so much, but LIFE is here. It keeps knocking on the door, letting you know that things are changing. Goodbye, everything I was used to. One of my good friends gave me some wisdom once. Old friends are going, but you will have new friends, and you don't have to lose the old friends. It will be different -- but sometimes different is even better than before. It doesn't have to be miserable :) Change isn't always bad. (But when everything is changing for the worse, remember the one who never changes. The one whose love is unchanging, unfailing, unrelenting. That one who keeps pursuing and never will stop.)I once heard the prayer "Lord, thank you for waking me up this morning." You know, we don't deserve this kind of treatment. When did I ever deserve another minute of this life? I really appreciate being here this morning, God. He chose to wake me up this morning, and I will use that gift with everything else he's given me.
Because life is hard, but it's worth it.
