NAi 0 HOW TO LOOK AT YOUR LIFE A present dayauthor writing on this subect. "How to look at your Life". said, "Roses have thorns and ' thorns have roses." Life is made that way. All assets have liabilities and all liabilities have assets. Those who laugh the most will cry the most. Those who cry the most will laugh the most.; Those 'Who love the dearest wily suffer the dearest loses, for nothing is permanent in this life, and all must some day be -given up. When a child is born he is born to die. Hence, the joys of the maternity ward will some day be balanced by the tears of the mortuary, If there are a few children there are fewer finger marks on the walls. fewer sleepless nights. and fewer doctor bills. ,Perhaps in the tend, it is true _ that our joys and sorrows all come out even. If one has few friends, he will lose few friends, The more friends that one has, the more times that he will have to go to the cemetery With a broken heart: Since every asset: has liabilities and every liability has ;assets, could it be. then that none of us has a worse time than the rest -011,10H' the above be true there are several lessons that can be learned. , I. HAPPINESS DEPENDS UPON WHETHER WE MAGNIFY THE ASSETS OR LIABILITIES. If every bad has a good and every good has a bad. and if life's assets and liabilities are all evened out in the end, then each of us has the same possibilities of happiness. Those who look at the liabilitiesmore than the assets become unhappy. Those who magnify the assets over the liabilities become happy. May we rejoice over.. the having of the child rather than sorrow over the fingerprintsoon the wall. IF' THE ABOVE BE TRUE. NO ONE HAS IT WORSE THAN THE OTHER. - Even in our defeats there are lessons we learn that the victorious ones never know. Hence, one has no more right to complain than another. :1. A REALIZATION ,OF THIS TRUTH WELL CURE ENVY. • Why envy.another if. Choke Maker Now days most people call their adopted children 'chosen ones' But we didn't choose ours and she didn't choose us: Arriving on our doorstep a scared, reluctant thirteen year old she'later told me at her first glance of me she thought defiantly "Who'9 the shrimp?" Inwardly I groaned, my stomach doing cartwheels "Oh my, what a BIG girl". She came to stay two weeks until a permanent home Was found for her.... ' and never left Storms, fights, frustrations, tears and red-hot anger days almost convinced us it would never work: Vet through it all we always sensed Your Presence Supported by your love and guidance a spangled metamorphosis took place We thank and bless you Lord for this your child . our beautiful daughter Thank ypu for choosing us ; ' for her 1 Didn't Go He wanted me to go to the hockey game I said no I don't like hockey games and Iwon't go So he went by himself and now I'm sorry Next time I'll go with him even though /don't want to At least I think Iwill Trying To Diet - On Sunday night the control I own Is perfectly stupendous How come by Monday morn it's flown And food tastes so tremendous? 11 his`liztbilitiesini)tell his essc as. 'do oars.? He ties as muc right to envy us. clx. THIS TRUTH, W I L MAKE US. CHOOSE .A LIF THAI' A 'T D OEs THE MOS .... QB RS -.—If ..the. boo balance out as we are su .then we will come ou even regardless. Could it b then that the grasping of thi philosophy will lead us to choose the kind of life that will do the most for others? In other words. if there is no wa at all that•we can gain mor assets than liabilities, w may then center our attentio on helping others to. gat assets. 5. THIS TRUTH WILL TAKE AWAY THE DESIRE FOR PERSONAL GAIN AND SELFISHNESS. - That thing that you will want will bring with it a liability that you - may not want to assume. The more things you own, the more things you can break. The more conveniences that one obtains the more repair bills he will have. Hence we are led simply to say to God, "Give us what you know is best for us' and we will trust your wisdom and j_udgment." 6.. THIS TRUTH WILL DRIVE US TO DO THE WILL OF GOD. • If all our at- tainments and obtainrnents lead us to the same place, then we must cast ourselves upon the Lord' and upon his will. Nothing else will much matter but that which he wants us to do. If there is no asset that does not bring with it a liability, there can be nothing that we really do want or do not want, If we obtain it, we can rejoice because of its assets. If we do not obtain it, we can thank God for the privilege of not having to accept the liability. So since it is six ol one and a half dozen of the other we can turn our eyes toward Jesus and say, "Thy will be done".
