Blessings & battlefieLds ???

Hills and Valleys...haven't you heard it said that life comes in hills and valleys?  Sometimes you're up, sometimes you're down.  Sometimes things in life are exceptional, sometimes they're unbearable.  If you're in a valley, just simply hold on, for soon you will be uplifted to the top of the next hill - sailing through once again.

That can certainly be true.  However, one time I heard someone say that their life was more like two train tracks running along each other at the same time...always some good and almost always some bad mixed in with that.     
It made perfect sense to me. 

Blessings & Battlefields, both!  The trick is to NOT land or stay on the Battlefields track alone.  Many things in life are out of our control.  Those aren't our fault, but no doubt, we must do our part to always be looking at the Blessings too, especially when we are stuck in a Battlefield. 

Life can be beautiful if we can learn to balance both sides. Prayer & Faith help tremendously.  Psalm 41:6 says God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Sleeping, eating well, exercise, water (& coffee) can be huge benefits to living a life well lived.  Believe it or not, some of us need to be told to sleep.  :) 

In those fantastic times when we land and stay only on the Blessings rail...
​Well, ENJOY & Be GRATEFUL!

Remember too that even when we're able to nicely have one foot on each rail, there will be curves!  There will also be many, many times our lives merge and intertwine with so many others.  
​
Yes, Here's to an AMAZING, CRAZY GREAT LIFE!
LOVE TODAY!
