Think about this

"Through all these years I have lived thus far, what some have deemed the dribs and drabs of life's facts dawn upon them, I have deem God's graces and illuminations making me understand that one TRULY lives joy, peace and happiness when you stop chasing butterflies with a net. They will only elude you.

But when you 'fulfill' your life with the needs of others who have so much less than you; when you bravely take the path that God's loving hands had carved for you (and only you..); and with and in faith, peace, joy and hope; giving thanks for any and every rock, stone or even boulder that blocks you and makes you stumble; and as you reflect humbly on all His tender mercy and love with your constant needs and complaints, on top of that VERY boulder that made you fall, HAPPINESS like the butterfly will come quietly and land on your shoulder whispering peace and joy in its fluttering wings of dance and music

I sometimes sit on that rock. That same rock that made me fall and bleed. The same rock that sometimes is a friend. But all the time is God.

I realize it is not what I do in my life, It is what I did with it. It's not what I'm having in my life, It's what I gave to have it. It's not so much what I do in life, It's how I live."
