If you had carried through with every promise you ever made, every dream you ever had, every truth you understood; what kind of a person would you be today?

Would it have made any difference, that mistake you could have rectified but didn’t?

That fear you could have tried to overcome but passed the opportunity by? The faith that cried out for better feeding but which you have too often starved a bit?

We are all a trinity of creation – mind, body and spirit and what we do with each of the three is not just God-given choices, but ongoing life-changing decisions.

However, there are a tremendous number of people who, if you were to ask them if they ever consider this, would reply that eat, drink and be merry is the trinity they choose.

The mind? Ask some folk to think and they refuse, claiming it makes their head hurt.

Study God’s way and will – study? The very thought gives them a headache.

Yet what we think about, what we give ourselves to, whether or not we accept responsibility for helping others or are only concerned with helping ourselves, these are life changing or life threatening decisions. They really are.

The body?

It may be what we only temporarily inhabit, but it needs our constant attention. Feed it poorly, exercise it little and it will attack you. Everyone knows that if you do not exercise the muscles grow weaker and that if you do exercise them they grow stronger, but not everyone works at it.. Do physical exercise to strengthen this temple of the soul?

Well, it’s an old joke that really isn’t funny. If I lie down and close my eyes maybe the thought will go away, or better still not come at all.

The soul? That is who we are, but to many the suggestion that having Christ in one’s heart and spirit makes all the difference in the world seems an over simplification. An oversimplification? Not really! Not at all!

There is an old joke that really isn’t funny. “If I lie down and close my eyes maybe the thought will go away, or better still not come at all.”

There is an old adage - life is a grindstone, it either grinds you down or polishes you up. It depends on the stuff you are made of.

And there is an old truth. We are shaped by our friends so be careful who we chose to emulate. And think before you speak because if you are not careful you will but become living proof that fools never know when to shut up.

Chose love as a way of living. Hate is a ragged wound that rips and tears at the interior of your being and wrecks a terrible personal kind of havoc.

Be patient with others when they will not follow your every lead or agree with your every thought. They are, after all, like you individual who appreciate being treated as such.

Where you love, you live.

This is what it is all about. A wise old philosopher of yesteryear whose name escapes me but not the gist of his thoughts once wrote “Gaze carefully at your thought for they soon become the words that are escaping your lips and the actions that are helping or ruining the lives of those around you. And worst of all, anything repeated often enough becomes a habit that ends of up shaping our character. And in the end, it has all become our destiny.”
