Wake Up!

Question to think about: Are you sleeping?

Life seemed different.
In fact, everything seemed different
when they realized time was short.
For some reason, they never thought it would happen to them . . . to hear the word . . . a dreaded-no-good-terrible-word . . . cancer.
But, for them . . . when the word became part of their vocabulary . . . in the pain and suffering . . .they received a gift.
They woke up.
They understood that each day needed to be experienced . . . to be shared . . . and celebrated.

Celebration does not come from circumstances but from the presence of Christ:
I know how to be abased and live humbly in straitened circumstances, and I know also how to enjoy plenty and live in abundance. I have learned in any and all circumstances the secret of facing every situation, whether well-fed or going hungry, having a sufficiency and enough to spare or going without and being in want. (Philippians 3:12, AMP)

Wake up.
Discover that living is not defined by circumstances but in and through Christ.
Become aware of the presence of Christ.
Celebrate

Learning with you to wake up,
Kerrie
