Time flies. No matter how you look at it, in 10 years your life as you know it now would be gone irreplaceably. This means (most of) the people, places, society would be different. Why don’t you enjoy it now? Instead of wishing for the ‘good old days’ in 10 years — which you didn’t cherish while you were in them.
- “Cherish all your happy moments; they make a fine cushion for old age.” — Booth Tarkington
- “Happiness is possible only when you stop running and cherish the present moment and who you are.” — Thich Nhat Hanh
- “Cherish every moment and love the best you can.”
- “Getting lost in the ‘big picture’ often prevents us from cherishing the ‘small moments’ that make it all worthwhile…”
Take a moment to listen to this evergreen oldie. Cherish your life.
If you have not yet accepted Jesus Christ into your life, do it now. Become a child of God by saying this important prayer:
Father, I thank you that you love me; I believe you sent your son Jesus Christ to die in my place to save me from sin. I thank you for raising him from death back to life for me. Today I accept Jesus Christ’s sacrifice for me and confess that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior. Amen
Congratulations! You are born again — You’re now in the family of God through Jesus Christ. Romans 10:8–10. Share the good news with me here I’d love to support you on your new journey!
