What I Have Learned… So Far

What I Have Learned… So Far featured image

As I enjoy my 69th trip around the sun … this is what I have learned so far, except for #1, the remaining thoughts are in random order. 

1. Only Jesus is Perfect.

2. Some people love you “no matter what” and some people will never love you, “no matter what”.  Love generously, and forgive in advance.

3. The Love you give is never ever wasted.

4. Don’t think too much about the future, there is no way to pre-determine every scenario.

5. Prayer really changes things, is a powerful tool and a gift from God. 

6. God really does have a wonderful and exciting plan for our ENTIRE life.

7. Good times don’t last forever, neither do hard times. Enjoy and embrace the good days, learn and grow during the hard days.

8. Love yourself … really, really, really except nothing less than a good self-image.  Wear the crown, know who you are in Jesus. 

9.  Friends are a gift from God.

10. Only marry a man that loves you more than you love him. 

11. Rejoice in ALL CIRCUMSTANCES. 

12. If a lost and homeless dog walks up your driveway, it just might be a gift.  It is not an accident what DOG spells backward.
