Today was a really pleasant day. For starters, I didn't go to work because I took the day off. Slept in til 9 AM. Seriously, awesome stuff, sleep. I was home with my mom, and got a lot of hugs from her. Something that I really like but that many people don't know (or think I dislike...) is hugs. Thanks, Mom for the hugs and the encouragement. :)
As I grow older, I'm learning and relearning the importance of living to the best of our abilities. I'm also learning how being positive can be really encouraging to the people around us. Sometimes, the "best of our abilities" can mean more than just our performance at school or at work. It sometimes means just living as a person to be the best that we can be. Loving others, living well with others, even living for others.
The message at church a few Sundays ago focused on how we ought to live our lives. And it really stuck. As Christians, we should try to follow Christ's example. Instead of living with a self-centered, "your life for mine" mentality, we ought to live with a "my life for yours" attitude. That's what Jesus showed us with His love. Living for Him isn't easy - no one ever said it would be. But we have a promise. And He will be faithful to His promise - to see us through until the end. So, until the day He comes, let's live for Him. One day at a time. My life for yours.
