...or what God gives you? I've often lamented about having a boring life or no life at all. We fight for the "Right to Life" but what do we do with the life we were given? A frequently used adage is "God helps those who help themselves" and in some areas that is true and in others there is no help at all but that that comes from GOD!
Anyway today I want to share my bogus thoughts about life. Is life more than breathing and having a heartbeat? Does there have to be brain activity to have life? (If so I've been dead a lot of times!) Do all parts of a body have to be functioning for life or just enough to say you're breathing? I know some wonderful people who have hardly any mobility functions but just a smile from them can improve my day and change my attitude. I call that life!
I know that when I say I don't have a life I'm thinking more along the social and exciting aspects that make life look more enjoyable. God is reminding me though that life is a precious gift he has given to all of us and to dismiss it just because I don't have friends that I hang out with every weekend, or have an adventurous spirit that always tries something new is not right. I thank God for the life I have and it is my hope that how I live this life is pleasing to him and not just fun.

Wow Ms. Cheryl you should be a philosopher. Your bringing ...tears...to...my ...eyes(if i was writing on paper there would be teardrops).
Cool post though( you should write a book). I came here to ask you to follow my blog if you are not already it would be greatly appreciated. Hope to see you soon.
Alliteration! This is splendid indeed! Very good read.
I have a question, is there any way to block certain of those among us who would misuse the comment option as a chat service? I mean like, any one person who might be particularly abnoxiou.... hey, speaking of the devil, I see Zach left you a comment. He left me one too. That's how I found your blog. (he gave me the address) You got lucky though, I almost didn't even bother to read it as all his previous comments have not concerned their pertaining post. Rather, they have been comprised primarily of poorly written gibberish regarding nothing of importance. Anyhoo, I just thought I'd leave you the address to my blog - IsaacFusion.blogspot.com, in case you were interested in reading it. God bless.
Cheryl, I linked to your blog through Isaac's. I was drawn in by your posts and ended up reading all of them :) A few minutes in I realized I knew you...and now I feel like I really know you. I really enjoyed your blog. I can relate in many areas. I chuckled often, and even cried a little. It was a good read :) Thank you. Jamie Walters McCaman
