LIFE REFLECTION 9

I woke up this morning reflecting on God, life, love and family. The many mercies, the beautiful blessings and amazing grace of God upon our lives. As i considered these deep thoughts, a number of revelations crystalized in my mind: one, that much of what we invest so much time, energy and resources on are vain pursuits that lack eternal value; two, when all is said and done we all come to the knowledge and understanding that the only certain things of value that we have is God and our family. When the chips are down, it dawns on us that the money in the bank, the cars in the garage, the exciting career, the beautiful houses, the powerful contacts and in fact, the fawning friends that abound, all amount to nothing. These things give a false sense of security and accomplishment. But as sure as there is life and death, they have always and will always fail those who put their trust, hope and faith in them. In the end, the reality, the fact and the abiding truth is that life has no meaning without family (the ones we love) and God (the one who loves us unconditionally).
