Coming and going

It's interesting how similar our entrance and exit from this life appear.

At both ends of life we are in need of the love and care of others.

The truth is that life is a "team effort." People caring for each other.

Somewhere in the middle we seem to think that we can do this thing called life on our own, but it's not true. We are in need of others all the way through.

Pave your road ahead by caring for others around you. There is a day when you will need someone to help you....help them first.

Wasn't there a movie about this? I think they called it "Pay it forward." The truth is that this movie was based on a biblical concept-

1Ti 6:18 Instruct them to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share,
1Ti 6:19 storing up for themselves the treasure of a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is life indeed.

Weren't the first two lines of your post part of a Seinfeld standup bit? ;-)

Chris,

No, just my own thoughts. I haven't listened to any of Seinfeld's routines, so am not familiar with his bit. The picture gave me the words, and the thoughts, not Seinfeld.

I'll have to find his piece and listen to it. thanks.
