Life Springs Eternal

 When you are grateful for each day of your life you are born every moment. You are like a new born baby every moment of your life. 

I can remember how cynical I was from about 18 to 25 about almost everything.

There is a saying: "Youth is wasted on the young".

I always had a girlfriend in my life until I got married at age 26 and had a son. Though I was grateful for all my girlfriends from age 15 to 25 I was pretty confused in other ways about life. I guess my life growing up in some ways was too easy as an only child.

It wasn't that I didn't have problems like whooping cough at age 2 that I almost died from and a concussion that gave me night time seizures from age 10 to 15 but also I had really great parents and a grandmother that lived with us too.

I guess everyone's life is a paradox in some ways like mine was.

But, at a certain point when I turned around 50 I realized that "Life Springs Eternal" after believing the doctors when they said they weren't sure what was wrong with me and if I would live or not.

Finally, after thinking I might die from Fall of 1998 until May of 1999 the doctors told me I wasn't going to die and that I had had a heart virus and that I could now likely live a normal life. I was 50 and I had been forced to retire in fall of 1998 or I would die. This is true. My wife insisted that I stay retired which worked for me because I had discovered that "Life Springs Eternal".

In other words I was now grateful for each moment of life I had left. And God had made me this way every since.

While I believed I was dying I promised God to start a blog (they weren't called that in 1998 by the way) and write of how Amazing God had been throughout my life which I have done ever since.

God kept his promise to keep me alive for my wife and children and I have kept my promise to write about my experiences with God and enlightenment.

It's been a Win Win situation ever since.

By God's Grace
