"Once Upon A Time..."

Let us think of ways to inspire one another to acts of love and good works.

Hebrews 10:24 

 

There was a time I felt compelled to write a book, yet I had quite the dilemma as to how to start, where to start, and what to include.  You see, there are parts of my life that I am not proud of, parts that would bore even a sloth enough to make him run away.  Yet we all have those instances in our lives that we would really rather forget.

 

When I have a chance to talk to the new hires for the Sheriff's Department, I always tell them "I have over 50 years of doing life wrong, and because of that, I have learned enough to walk with you through pretty much any situation you may find yourself."  And it's true, isn't it?  We learn from our mistakes and, because of that, we are able to help others.  If we don't learn from our mistakes, God is patient and we will keep making the same mistakes until we finally do learn.

 

Think about your life's story so far. Are you willing to let your life serve as an inspiration for someone else?  You have endured trials and yet you still choose to live each day instead of hiding.  You have made mistakes, endured the consequences, and learned from them.  You have overcome.    How much more inspiring can a life story get?

 

How can we inspire each other to acts of love and good works?  By letting our lives serve as a source of inspiration!!
