WRITE YOUR OWN ENDING
You do. Or at least you can. Write your own ending, that is.
So many people let circumstances or other people or momentum write the endings to the chapters in their life.
But, you and I don’t have to be like them. We can own our own story!
We can embrace where we are and set out on a journey to where we want to be. By God’s grace, we can write our own ending.
I remember one woman who was homebound with a terribly painful cancer. It would eventually take her down. But, she decided to live well right up to the end. I was a young pastor at the time and learned so much for her. She fought the cancer the best she could with the help of her healing team. She drew on the support of her family and friends. And she took action every day to do whatever she could to keep bringing value to others.
You and I may not be where we want to be. We might be tempted to blame others or to be angry and resentful. We might want to give up. But, we can, again with God’s help, accept where we are and take responsibility for our attitude and our actions. In other words, own our story.
And thereby be able to write our own ending to this chapter of our life.
