God Never Blinks: Lesson 1

For the next few posts, I'm going to write about my own understanding on the lessons that were taught in the book entitled "God Never Blinks". Of course, they are going to be my own personal thoughts and be linked to my own life experiences. So if you are keen, take a read and I hope to inspire you with it =)

Lesson 1: Life is good
The take home message was "get to". Many of us complains about the need to go to work, the need to finish up an assignment, the need to cook for family, the need to serve in church. However, if we were to take a step back and look at our life, we will realize that actually we were very much blessed in life.

We get to go to work while others struggle to find one for months or even years some times,
we get to study and work on an assignment while some may not even have the chance to receive education,
we get to cook a meal for our family while some orphans have none to dine with (or some of their loved ones has passed on and leaving only regrets for not spending enough time together),
and we get to serve in church while others may be persecuted for practicing their religion.

Now tell me aren't you blessed? =)

Instead of approaching each day with a "need to" attitude, how about turning it around and tell yourself, you get to do all those things.
