I recently ran across an acrostic that I thought was really cool that I would like to share with you. Your LIFE consists of:
L = Loves – passions, purpose, priorities, and values
I = Intersections – how we connect with others’ stories
F = Fortune – resources to help others write new endings to their stories
E = Eternity – making a difference beyond life here on earth.
Did you ever think about the fact that you are writing a story with your life? You write a few pages every day by the choices you make and the people you meet. God is writing an even bigger story, a never ending story. Your story is part of His story. You’ve heard it said, “You only get one shot at this thing called life”. How true. You can live it for yourself, or you can live it for others. You have no idea how long you’ll have to write your story. All that you have – your loves, your talents, your resources, and your opportunities – are from God. Believe me, He is cares how you use these to extend His love and grace to others.
How’s your story going? What will you write on today’s page? Will it look a lot like yesterday and the days before? Will it make a difference in someone’s life? Will it make a difference in eternity? Will today be the final page in your story? None of us know when the last page will be written.
These questions weigh heavy on my heart these days. I want my story to count for something – how about you? As some of you know, I have made some pretty big changes in my life over the past year in hopes that my story will end better than it started. You can too.
If you’re interested in hearing more, I will be at the “Big C” breakfast in Cranberry (Sheraton – Four Points) tomorrow, November 7th at 7:00am sharing my testimony. I will also be speaking in detail on this topic at New Community’s worship services (3100 Wexford Rd, Wexford, PA 15090) on November 16th, at 9:00am, 11:00am, and 7:30pm. I’d love to meet you and learn more about your story.
