A man once asked the Lord, “How long do I have to live?” He answered, “Long enough to make a difference.” Here are some lessons that will help us make a difference:
- Life starts and ends with God. Establish priorities to do the important things first. Don’t give your best to life’s second best. Give your best to God.
- Associate with good people. If you want to soar with eagles, don’t flock with turkeys.
- Be responsible. As has been said, we should all plant trees that we will never sit under and dig wells from which we will never drink.
- Be grateful. We all have had helpers along the way and we should not forget to be grateful to them ... and tell them so.
- In all that you do, remember nothing matters unless it’s done with honesty and integrity.
Our days are in short supply. Make the most of them. Remember: The main thing is to make the main thing the main thing.
