How will you live this day? How will the world be different for you having lived it?

I believe in a simple formula; as I go, so goes my family. As my family goes; so goes our community. As our community goes; so goes our country. As our country goes; so goes the world. We cannot complain about the shape the world is in if the shape of our personal lives are no different.

The choices you make today affect every person you love and every person who loves you. What we permit for ourselves will be the norm for our children and the expected for our grandchildren. If those choices are good; than the next generation will stretch to do better; if they are compromised down for us, they will be less for our children and even less for each generation to follow.

The Word teaches, "TO HAVE A FRIEND, YOU MUST BE FRIENDLY". The same principle applies to every virtue; if we desire to be loved, we must first love, if we desire to receive kindness, we must first offer kindness, if we desire others to be generous, we must first be generous. It's a law of God; "GIVE AND IT SHALL BE GIVEN UNTO YOU - BY THE MEASURE YOU GIVE IT, YOU SHALL RECEIVE IT."

So simply; allow me to ask you again; How will you live this day? How will the world be different for you having lived it? Think about it - Live it. Amen!
