Can I know when to fight for what I believe and when to just be quiet?
Can I see beauty in ugliness?
The Bible says that we can choose to bless life or to curse it.
Our personality makes it easier for some to make good choices than others. I have learned by making both poor and wise decisions. I have accepted that in some circumstances I do not have choices, like being able to live a pain free and joyous life.
I can choose to find happiness in reaching out to others and trying to help them find peace, which is the greatest blessing. Some of my friends I feel we have chosen each other but there are friends who have seemed to chosen me. I become the listener. I believe that God has a purpose for each one of us and the patterns of our lives are all so different. If I can help some one find strength and courage without judging or being critical then my life will be a blessing.
I can choose to go to church today and sit where ever I feel comfortable. I can choose to take part in the readings and the singing or I can be silent. I can allow my soul to be touched by the music and the words of the minister. If I listen I will hear what I was meant to hear.
The choices I do have give my life meaning and I am thankful for this gift.

Good on you mates!
Maybe this will become a regular time out for you both

Minor quibble: choice only relates to things that can be chosen. So, for example, we can not choose whether or not the sun will come up tomorrow.
Love,
Rick
