This afternoon I will be attending the funeral of a man who I never met. In fact, I am not sure I ever saw him. However, his wife, daughter and son-in-law are friends of mine and our family.
This past weekend another tragedy. A couple who used to attend our church were involved in a car accident. She died in the accident and left her husband and three young daughters.
If that was not enough, a neighbor took her life this weekend.
Wow! What a tragic weekend.
All of those, and especially after visiting the funeral home last night, have made me to happily say again – I love life. I really do. There are always challenges and “opportunities”, things that don’t go our way and things that disappoint us, but – I love life.
I love being with my wife and children. I like being with our friends. I like what God has given us including each day. I love life.
You might ask what this has to do with finances. It really has a great deal to do with finances. I meet people regularly who are done on life and the circumstances that, more often than not, they have got themselves into. Their outlook on life gets down sometimes.
Regardless of whatever you may be going through, it won’t last forever. Endure it, work through it, fix it and love life.
