In the "New Covenant" made by our Creator God with humanity, as reported in Jeremiah 31:31-34, every human being can know God from within - because the Holy Spirit is revealing our Creator to all who are willing to know the Lord and trust in Him. We can still help each other along the way; so may you be pleased to find here a variety of helps to the life of faith in God through Jesus Christ. G.S.

45 Lessons Life Taught Me
Written by
"To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me... It is the most-requested column I've ever written. My odometer rolled over to 90 in August, so here is the column once more.
1. Life isn't fair, but it's
still good.
2. When in doubt, just take the
next small step.
3. Life is too short to waste
time hating anyone...
4. Your job won't take care of
you when you are sick. Your friends and parents will. Stay in touch.
5. Pay off your credit cards
every month.
6. You don't have to win every
argument. Agree to disagree.
7. Cry with someone. It's more
healing than crying alone.
8. It's OK to get angry with
God. He can take it.
9. Save for retirement starting
with your first paycheck.
10. When it comes to chocolate,
resistance is futile. Ask God for help.
11. Make peace with your past so
it won't screw up the present.
12. It's OK to let your children
see you cry.
13. Don't compare your life to
others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
14. If a relationship has to be
a secret,you shouldn't be in it.
15. Everything can change in the
blink of an eye. But don't worry; God never blinks.
16. Take a deep breath. It calms
the mind.
17. Get rid of anything that
isn't good, beautiful or true.
18. Whatever doesn't kill you
really does make you stronger.
19. It's never too late to have
a happy childhood... the 2nd one is up to you and no one else.
20. When it comes to going after
what you love in life, don't take no for an answer.
21. Burn the candles, use the
nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special.
22. Over prepare, then go with
the flow.
23. Be eccentric now. Don't wait
for old age to wear purple.
24. The most important sex organ
is the brain.
25. No one is in charge of your
happiness but you.
26. Frame every so-called
disaster with these words 'In five years, will this matter?'
27. Always choose life.
28. Forgive everyone everything.
29. What other people think of
you is none of your business.
30. Time heals almost
everything. Give time time.
31. However good or bad a
situation is, it will change.
32. Don't take yourself so
seriously. No one else does.
33. Believe in miracles.
34. God loves you because of who
God is, not because of anything you did or didn't do.
35. Don't audit life. Show up
and make the most of it now.
36. Growing old beats the
alternative -- dying young.
37. Your children get only one
childhood.
38. All that truly matters in
the end is that you loved.
39. Get outside every day.
Miracles are waiting everywhere.
40. If we all threw our problems
in a pile and saw everyone else's,we'd grab ours back.
41. Envy is a waste of time. You
already have all you need.
42. The best is yet to come.
43. No matter how you feel, get
up, dress up and show up.
44. Yield.
45. Life isn't tied with a bow,
but it's still a gift."
