I Choose to Live...

I don't about anyone else, but I forget many times to "choose to live"... or maybe it is not that I forget as much as I let other things cloud my thoughts on a daily basis.  I don't know of one single individual that doesn't deal with trouble and struggle in this day to day earthly life...do you?
Thank you Lord for the all good days and for the not so good days too!  Thank you for the life lessons we learn as we sometimes struggle to understand just why things happen like they sometimes do.

  
I know there are a lot of things, I've yet to figure out, 

but as I live I'm learning more of what life is all about

They say life is full of choices and you have to live with the choices you make.  

So, if I have to choose, here are some choices that I've made.

I choose to laugh instead of cry, 

I choose to spread my wings and learn to fly.

To love rather than hate, to see the good and not complain.  

I choose to take a chance and risk it all, get up again after a fall

I'm throwing caution to the wind.  I choose to live.

Everyday I make decisions, some big and some small.  

But, I'm glad I've made up my mind on the greatest one of all.

I gave my heart and life to Jesus

I have no doubt that he died for me

Since, I've been forgiven, I am living abundantly.

I choose to laugh instead of cry, 

I choose to spread my wings and learn to fly.

To love rather than hate, to see the good and not complain.  

I choose to take a chance and risk it all, get up again after a fall

I'm throwing caution to the wind.  I choose to live.

Thirty or forty, maybe even fifty years from now,

I pray the choices that I've made will help somebody in someway or some how

I choose to laugh instead of cry, 

I choose to spread my wings and learn to fly.

To love rather than hate, to see the good and not complain.  

I choose to take a chance and risk it all, get up again after a fall

I'm throwing caution to the wind.  I choose to live.
