YOUR LIFE IS LIKE. . .

"Your life is like a book: The title page is your name; the preface, your introduction to the world. The pages are a daily record of your efforts, trials, pleasures, prayers, hopes and discouragement. In Hebrews 12 it says; 'The race is set before us.' We are reminded it is God's job to set the course; it's your job to run it. As you pass onward, day by day, your thoughts and acts are inscribed in your book of life. Hour by hour, the record is being made that must stand for all time. One day the word finis must be written. Let it then be said of your book that it is a record of noble purpose, generous service, and work well done. . . And that all will see the values of faith, love and hope demonstrated in your life. 'We continually remember before our God and Father your work produced by faith, your labor prompted by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ'" (I Thessalonian 1:3). --From the Leininger Collection
