Chaplains on the River

With the many changes that have taken place in my life in the last twelve months, I have found myself reflecting on past experiences and realizing that there have been some valuable lessons learned along the way.  I would like to take a moment to share some of those lessons with you.

I’ve learned that no matter what happens or how bad it seems today, life goes on and it will be better tomorrow.

I’ve learned that you can tell more about a person by the way that they handle difficulty than any other way.

I’ve learned that making a living is not always the same thing as making a life.

I’ve learned to appreciate and grasp those second chances that life sends your way.

I’ve learned that even when I have pain in my life, I don’t have to be a pain.

I’ve learned that – every day – you should reach out and touch someone.  We all need it.

Last, but not least, I’ve learned that I still have a lot to learn!

I invite you to pause and reflect on your lessons learned in life.  May your introspection be fruitful.

See you on the river!
