Funny how life usually turn out to be. One day we're
on top of the world, being joyful of whatever comes
our way. The next day, we feel like we are down in
the dumps reminiscing the glory days of the past or
wishing that things were different from what we are
currently experiencing.
But we shouldn't be judged when we are in the summit
of our glory or in the deepest valleys of our sorrows.
We should be judged as to how we come out and live
our life inspite of the glory or despite all the
sorrows we experience. It is in the living and the
reaching of the goals that defines our life.
I opened the RBC website just now and I turned to the
21 April 2007 edition . It talks of the experience of
Nora Desmond, the main character in the musical
Sunset Boulevard (played by Glenn Close in the Broadway run).
Nora Desmond died tragically because she was not able to live
life as it should be - live life today and not base on past
glories.
I am thankful that I have been given the chance to be
where I am right now. It may not be the best of all
situations but it is far more better than where I was
before. Agree that there are more stressful moments
this time and sometimes I long for a more simple
existence. But in doing so, in pining for a life
lived differently, I feel like I am mocking the Lord's
gift to me.
But I wouldn't venture into comparing my lot to what
other people are experiencing because that may be a
gift from the Lord as well.
Anyway, I may not be in a much better state of
emotions at this time. But then again, I know that
these too shall past. I am looking forward to the
rest of the day, and would try to live it in a manner
that will give more glory to our maker.
