HANDLE WITH CARE=LIFE IS FRAGILE

 

HANDLE WITH CARE=LIFE IS FRAGILE

I guess I was 22=

When I FIRST realized

HOW FRAGILE LIFE IS

I had an emergency surgery=

And the BEGINNING of a

Long and lasting illness=

That is STILL with me today

I lost relationships=I lost

FINANCES=and I almost

LOST my life=on three

Separate occasions

Be careful=HANDLE WITH CARE=

Everything in life=can be LOST=

Everything in life=can be BROKEN

HANDLE WITH CARE=

LIFE IS FRAGILE!

“You yourselves-

KNOW very well

That the day of the LORD

Will come-

Like a thief at night” 1 Thessalonians 5:2

IF you ever LOST a loved one

In life=

You REALIZE=

How very FRAGILE life is

Finances are fragile=

RELATIONSHIPS are fragile=

EVERYTHING in life=can be lost

Be AWARE of the

Fragility of life=

It can be=a good or bad thing=

DEPENDING on how you

USE the information

IF it leads to too

Much fear and anxiety=

It can be DESTRUCTIVE

But if you use the INFORMATION

To truly UNDERSTAND

What is important in life

It can be TRANSFORMATIVE=

It can become a good thing=

It can change us=INTO

A truly CARING human being

Handle with care=

LIFE IF FRAGILE!

“What is mankind

That you are

Mindful of them

Human beings=

That you CARE-

For them?” Psalm 8:4

“The righteous CARE

About justice=

For the poor

But the wicked

Have no such concern” Proverbs 29:7

“By the grace of God

Has given me=

I laid a foundation

As a wise builder=

And someone else

Is building on it

But each one-

Should BUILD WITH CARE” 1 Corinthians 3:10-11

We will NEVER be able

To live A PERFECT LIFE

But we can live

The GOSPEL LIFE

Of justice-mercy-and FORGIVENESS

Let them take on

MORE URGENCY=before

The end of your life

“Be shepherds=of God's flock=

That is UNDER YOUR CARE-

Watching over them--------

Not because you must

But because you are willing

As God wants you to be

NOT pursuing dishonest gain

But eager to serve.......” 1 Peter 5:2

Dear FRIENDS=

HANDLE YOUR LIFE WITH CARE=

Everything in life

IS FRAGILE

And CAN BE BROKEN

In Jesus' name=and in the name of OUR EVER LIVING GOD
