Perhaps these borrowed thoughts will help us think again about the "stuff" of life and what really matters. Read prayerfully!

LIFE

• Life isn't about keeping score. Period!
• It's not about how many friends you have, or how much "stuff" you have.
• It's not about how many people accept you, or even about how many people like you.
• It isn't even about if you have somewhere to go or something to do this weekend.
• It's not about who your family is or how much money they have.
• It's not about what kind of car your drive or what size house you live in.
• It isn't about how pretty you may or may not be.
• It isn't about the clothes you wear or what shoes you have on.
• It isn't about how smart you are or how smart others think you are.

LIFE IS

• About whom you love.
• About making others around you happy.
• About being there when another person needs you, life is about serving others.
• About keeping another's trust.
• About friendship.
• About what you say and mean, and doing it.
• About using your life to touch other people's hearts and souls.
• About being and child of God and doing what his will directs.
