I just got back from a client meeting and we had a conversation about teaching and life in general after all the work was discussed. It was good to hear another's perspective on life afterall ..
She was a widow, husband was diagnosed with cancer in 2007, leaving her and 3 other kids aged betwn 17-20 behind. It's tough for her.. and in '07, she was also diagnosed with Breast cancer.. she got off well because it was in the very early stages and now.. she lives to see the better part of life. Living as though each day was the last yet spending wisely, so that the children would have a good distribution of the estate if her cancer comes back..
While I was driving off.. I pondered.. what I would do.. if i knew my life may just end in 2 years.. How would I live it, What would I spend on, what would I focus on.. who would I focus spending most of my time with.. It's difficult answering those qns when it's not you who's put in such a situation..
Well, I'll just say that God has a plan.. n no matter how we try to run our lives.. we need God to give us that peace to carry on.. When we lean on the world.. so often we face disappointments..
I'm glad that in my job, I'm placed with such oppurtunity to learn from the good.. and the not-so-good.. I've become a much better person, careful with my finances .. only thing I need to curb is to be in greater control of the drinking habits and learn not to squeeze so many appointments to maximize the use of each day.. Tis - I learnt from my kid..
So much to pick up from the young and old.. and sometimes we just need to stop and listen, observe.. and apply the lessons life generously teaches us..
Being in my ministry in church helped me understand so much more about the Hearing Impaireds.. how their sense of focus and fighting spirit is worth admiration. and the more involved I am, the more I treasure the life I've been given..
I believe 2007 has been a year of new oppurtunity, and the people I've been blessed with I'll remember for the rest of this life I'm given..
