Life is so good. Life is so beautiful. Life is so
glorious. It never fails to amaze me with its wonder and
joy. I find it hard to understand at times how so many
people can say that life is bad. It is like they are
staring at the one bare spot in a field full of flowers and
complaining about how barren and lifeless the field is.
How do I know that life is good? I just open my eyes, ears,
heart, soul, and mind everyday. God does the rest. When I
watch a beautiful sunset and realize that Earth might not be
Heaven but sometimes it can seem very close, I know that
life is good. When I hear the birds singing for joy in the
morning and the frogs croaking happily in the evening, I
know that life is good. When I hug my daughter and two sons
everyday, I know that life is good. When I look through the
photo albums of my children growing up in happiness through
the years, I know that life is good. When I play with my
lovable dogs and pet my purring cats, I know that life is
good. When I eat a delicious meal, smell a flower, sing a
song, read a book, and just breathe in and out, I know that
life is good. And, when I see the fireflies dancing with a
thousand lights around the graveyard in my backyard on a
Summer night, I know that life is not only good but is also
eternal.
If you knew that you had just a week to live, would you
complain about how bad life is, or would you finally see all
the good in life that was always there? Would you spend
your final breaths cursing or telling those you love just
how much you love them? Don’t miss life. Embrace it in all
of its goodness. See how very easy it can be to live and to
love. Realize that you can choose to be happy. Know that
God is love, life is love, and you can be love as well.
Feel how much God loves you, forgives you, and wants you to
live in joy. Open your eyes, ears, heart, soul, and mind
and let God show you the love that is all around you. Yes,
life is good.
