"Life"




I've heard that "Life is what you make it" and to a degree I believe that. Let me explain. I have made a lot of choices in my life that when I look back in retrospect I realize it was not the best decisions. If you have read my blog more than once you will know that I credit God for all that I have and where I am. Our job on this earth is to be "Stewards", a Steward over our bodies, our finances and the earth.


So many times we look at our situations, with dismay and disappointment when in fact we did not do our part to change the outcome. For example; one might have arthritis or hypertension which in a lot of times it is directly due to how and what we put in our bodies and exercise or lack of. Now I know that sometimes it is hereditary but often we can still ask the question, was I a good Steward of the body, that I was charged to manage. Finances, I am guilty...Lord knows I'm guilty! How many times have you said, If I had a better job, I would have this or that. Or If I get this raise I would be set. How were you as a Steward of what you were "charged" to handle. Did you mishandle what was given to you, did you spend wisely, did you give willingly??? I also think about the Native Americans and I wonder how they see the earth, the pollution the smog and the ozone etc. are we good stewards of the Earth that we were given dominion over??? Where are you in this? How is your stewardship's? If given more, can you handle more? To whom much is given much is required!!!
