Sprits in a material world

Remember the Police song, "Spirits in a Material World"? Well, I just happened to overhear it playing in the background the other day and it brought to mind how temporary our time here on earth really is. As such, we can choose our time wisely and learn some of the many wonderful, sometimes painful, bittersweet yet necessary lessons that life has to offer. Or, we can continue to simply be empty shells and move though life learning nothing at all. It is our choice.

We are not human beings going through a temporary spiritual experience rather, we are spiritual beings going through a temporary human experience.

I would not trade one of my lessons I have learned and the value of life it has taught me for anything in the world. This has indeed been a tough year for me but, I have gained so much through the pain, the tears and yes, even the laughter. I am tremendously blessed to have been through the fire ~ because I have come out on the other side, stronger, wiser and happier than ever!

Think about it. If we are lucky enough to be on this earth for any length of time at all, there are so many opportunities to learn and grow spiritually before we can move on to the next realm. So, we really are spirits moving about in a material world trying to fulfill our predetermined destiny before our time here has expired. Heavy, I know. But definitely food for thought. Just My Two Cents....

Life as I know it...

So, yes it has been a tough year. But remember the saying, "Tough times never last, tough people do." Well it is true! I am healing everyday. Little by little the pain and hurt continues to fall away...

I am following my dreams and what is in my heart. I can honestly say that it really feels good to let go and let God and as a result, my strength has returned ten fold!

The beauty that I see through the eyes of my children lets me know that I am making progress! They are making progress! How beautiful is that? Pain REALLY can teach us lessons, if we are open and willing to receive.

One example of this is that you must give up what you could lose in order to gain what you could not lose. Lord knows, I have given up a lot but have come out a winner!

I know that I will have set backs, but I also know that I will overcome them. I am a survivor. Life as I know it is changing and becoming BEAUTIFUL again! Thanks be to God! Just My Two Cents...

TIME....

Time is all we have. We cannot fast forward it. We cannot rewind it. All we can do is live in the TIME of now and make the most of it before it is too late!!

So, value NOT the things you have in life, rather, value WHO you have in life!! PLEASE count your Blessings for as cliche as it sounds, it is so very true ~ tomorrow is not promised to us! Take the TIME to tell those that you value how much they mean to you ~ before it is too late. Just My Two Cents...
