Word For the Week: LIFE! “Building Faithful Families (BFF)” Fall Series LIFE is Short. How often do we hear that? How often do we say it? Blackademically Speaking, my mom takes it a step further when she says, “LIFE is short And shorter than that!” (Insert:Pause!) Yet at times, we find ourselves lost in LIFE as opposed to living the fullness of LIFE. Ill never forget when Rev. Jesse Jackson said, “We live LIFE as if LIFE is certain and death is uncertain. When its actually the other way around, it’s LIFE that’s uncertain and death that’s certain. As we conclude our “Building Faithful Families (BFF)” Fall Series, it is my hope that we’ll all become certain about what means most in LIFE. Thus, here are some LIFE pearls for us to ponder and produce in our own families: Family, friends and solid relationships are unmatched aspects of LIFE. Priceless! Investing in the young and genuinely caring for our elderly is paramount. We can’t get so caught up, that we miss not just our moment, but also the total movement of LIFE’s most valuable lessons. Try not to let anyone steal your joy. NoBody! Likewise, don’t be misled, misguided, misinformed nor miseducated! Be watchful for those that will try to use you. If people will constantly talk about others to you, chances are, they’re talking about you to others. Be in control. Forgive. Dont be afraid to Let Go of all things toxic, including expired produce and people that just wont produce. Inherit a newer thought. Read a new, thought-provoking book. Finish it. Study that other Book! Know what youre called to do. Do it! Get over yourself. Grace did it, you didnt. Choose health and healthY. Eat right. Exercise. Stop making excuses. Quit blaming everyone else for what you now have the power to change. Invest in couch time; Stop resisting therapy. Learn to admit your weaknesses. Submit to wisdom. Grow and grow up. Pray. Pray some more. Pray for people and not just possessions. Move beyond the messy and minuscule. Rise above all generational bitterness and brokenness. Stop acting like you know everything. Listen. Pay close attention with intention. Dont worry about what others are saying about you; thats a reflection of them not you. Live LIFE with as much love as you can. Be at peace. Be productive. Be powerful. Be pleasant. Heal! Say, “Yes” to God and “No & No More” to bad habits and the enemy’s tactics. YOLO says “You Only Live Once”. BUT I’m a Believer and my faith says, you ‘live’ at least twice → Here and once you leave here (eternally). So let’s build our families by 1st being born again to something newer, fresher and much sweeter than all those other things that have us bound. For me, there’s simply no better way to live a complete and fully rewarding LIFE! Thus, to build our families, we must faithfully value LIFE!! © Chandra Gill, Ph.D. Have You Heard Dr. Gill Speak? https://youtube/watch?v=L6QCZjbPurY https://youtube/watch?v=GvY1V_R77JY Welcome to Mondays Message of Motivation & Education~ Blackademically Speaking
