The Dalai Lama
“Can any one of
you by worrying add a single hour to your life?”
(Matthew 6 vs. 27)
June and I have been blessed with
the ability to enjoy our lives; both the pitfalls and the pleasures. We
strongly believe that somehow the Lord has been involved in our lives and lead
us to enjoy the simple pleasures. We both believe that the ability to put the
events of our life into perspective is our greatest blessing through our faith.
Several weeks ago a “Good News
buddy” forwarded this to me. I believe that this is not describing a person of
faith but is right on for those that have not developed a spiritual lifestyle.
The Dalai Lama when asked about what
surprised him most about humanity answered “Man.
Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices his
money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that
he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the
present or the future; he lives like he is never going to die and he dies
having never really lived.”
Thought for Today: Who in our
circle of friends resembles the Dalai Lama’s description? It could be family,
neighbor, friend or even someone in our church. Today let’s think about that
and find a way to share our faith with them.
Prayer for Today: Dear Lord, today let us pray for those who
have not included Christ in their lives; those who are spiritually weak,
worried about physical rather than Godly issues. We pray for them and ask you
for a way to help, a way to share and a way to contribute to their spiritual
growth.
