Choices

Greetings to all!!! I pray the day is treating you well. A couple of months ago our house was robbed! Can you believe it?? It is so violating to know someone was in your home, looking through your things, taking what belongs to you. If anyone has ever been in this situation, then you understand how that feels. The crazy thing about it all is someone made the choice to do wrong towards you and now you must make the choice of how to respond. After walking in and seeing the damage that was done, my first reaction was anger!! Once I thought about it and looked at it from a different point of view, my feelings of anger changed to feelings of thankfulness. I was thankful that no one was home. I was thankful they didn't take more. I was thankful they did not destroy our home. Everyday we are faced with choices. The power of our choices can be at times too much to bear. Let's think about this. For one, the choice those thieves made to enter our home and take what did not belong to them, led to their arrest and now a record that will follow them forever. Choices-recently the choices of Tiger Woods have become front page news. His life, his image will never be the same. Choices-the choice to cheat, lie, steal, fight, drink-then drive, raise your hand, raise your voice, turn your back....they are all choices that will leave ever lasting effects. Be wise in what you do. Think before you act. Listen before you speak. Once an action has been done, you can not take it back. GOD knows we have all made choices that by HIS grace didn't ruin our lives. Be wise because the next time, you may not be so lucky. Love you all!!!
