I watched The Andy Griffith Show last night and smiled as I
watched Ron Howard play his character, Opie Taylor. Opie is a grown man now and
actually, he’s older than I am. It seems like little Opie grew up right before
my eyes. Life is long, but at the same time, life is short.
I think about my
own life and it seems like yesterday I was Firstborn’s age. What happened to
the years? They go by so fast and the older I get, the faster they fly.
Unbelievable! I’m not as concerned about my life flying by as I am about my
life being full. If it makes any sense, I want my life to be full of life. I
want to grasp every waking moment and live my life with no regrets. I want my
joy to be unspeakable and my peace to surpass all understanding. I want laughter
to be my medicine. I want to take advantage of every opportunity. I want to
learn to be comfortable outside of my comfort zone. I want to experience God on
new levels and be aware of every breath I take. I don’t want to die with
unwritten books in me, nor do I want to die with love I refused to share. Life!
I only have one. The choices I make and the bad habits I refuse to break will
eventually take a toll on my one life. My character and the company I keep will
reveal many things about my one life.
My life is a gift given to me by God…to live
in abundance…a life full of life! My life should make a difference. My life
should make an impact. My life should be lived on purpose. My life should be
full of life! I have many days ahead of me, but I only have one life. What do
you plan to do with your life? You only have one!
1 left a portion of peace:
Hi LaVender -
Thank you.
I love this zesty piece. Yes, it has gusto indeed! You stirred my juices, especially, when you mentioned living your life on purpose. Glory to GOD!
Note: Did you get the e-mail content below that I sent you?
I ask because I didn't receive a response from you after I answered your e-mail about purchasing from PHOTO FLOURISH. And I remember that you mentioned once that my
e-mail to you went to your junk area.
Here it is:
Hi LaVender -
Glad you liked the card. I had no idea that purple is your favorite color. Actually, twice, I considered sending you another card that I liked better, and twice our Lord told me to send you that one. Only GOD, huh, laVender?!
The sizes are different. On the site, it shows the sizes...
#G7 greeting card is the size that I sent you - approximately 4-1/2" x 7-1/8"
#N7 note card size is approximately 4-1/4" x 5-1/2"
They both open...
Note: I'm confused on your name. Is it Lavender, LaVender or laVender?
