Making the Most of Every Day!

Do you ever find yourself wondering where one day went or several? How fast time flies in the face of our business, our stuff? How preoccupied we can get with the things that matter little to anyone but us and miss the big picture stuff, the things that should matter most to us and others?

It takes wisdom to know the important things in life. It takes courage to set aside ourselves and our agendas, our egos, our pride, our little world, to envision the vista of the big world around us and how God can give us something truly breathtaking, using us in such a way that we could never have even dreamed of, or planned it, created it, even accomplished it!

I came across an inspiring, 5 hankie video called 99 days that shows how one family in the midst of struggle and a frail and disabled baby face 99 days with courage and insight into the how and why of life. It shows that even a baby helpless except for the loving parents and friends to care for him, how his life has impacted and inspired so many people...

Not my will but thy will be done....
