CHOICES


CHOICES

Every day we are faced with choices.

What to wear.
What to eat.
Where to go or stay home.
To pay our bills or not to pay.

Some are simple choices
Some are difficult.

Sometimes life brings us sadness and sorrow.
Sometimes we are betrayed by our friends.
Sometimes life brings sickness and pain.
Sometimes we have fear and doubt.

The important thing in life is the choices we
make in response to our life experiences.

When life brings us sadness and sickness,
we can choose to become depressed
and spread our mood to others.

Or we can choose
JOY.

When a friend betrays us, we can choose to be
angry and respond with bitterness.

Or we can choose to
FORGIVE.

When we experience sickness and pain,
we can suffer and allow it to weaken us
until we can no longer cope.

Or we can turn to the LORD for strength and help.

When we have fear and doubt,
we can allow it to master us until we are
no longer able to function normally.

Or we can recognize that these are
tools of the devil to destroy us and
TRUST GOD.

These are only a few examples of choices we can make in life.

I am resolved to choose

JOY
FORGIVENESS and
to TRUST GOD.

Here are some of my recent cards
