With all its meanderings, harsh realities, and unwelcomed trials – I still love life. After being blessed with more than 5 decades, I wake up each day understanding that this is a gift. It’s highly likely that I have more years behind me than ahead. Now I just want to squeeze out as much as I can out of whatever is left. So my response is, I simply love that I get to do this! I honor this gift of life that God gives by showing up each day with purpose and drive.
If I can be God’s hands extended to one soul each day – then it’s worth waking up. I get up not just for me. I am present for those who need my words, my presence, my person, my heart, and my resources. There is a reason I am alive today – I never take it for granted that I get one more opportunity to do what I was birthed to do. That’s my motivation.
‘If I can help somebody as I pass along,
If I can cheer somebody with a word or song,
If I can show somebody he is traveling wrong,
Then my living shall not be in vain.’
(©1945, Alma B. Androzzo)
