As you pass this way
+++++++++++++++++++
You will make a difference in the world today. What kind of difference will that be?
Your life will travel in some direction today as the result of your thoughts and actions. What direction will that be?
This day presents you with a magnificent opportunity that you’ve never had before. You can take all that you are, all that you’ve learned, all that you’ve experienced up to this point, and use it to move your whole world forward.
Every good and valuable thing you do for life makes your world a better place to be. Every time you lift up others, your own experience of life is made more wholly fulfilling.
This day and all its possibilities will soon pass. Yet the value that you create from it will stay with you and will add its own unique flavor to all of life.
You will make a real and lasting contribution to life today.
Choose to make it such that you’ll always be thankful for having passed this way.

Matthew 13:10-17
“And the disciples came and said to Him (to Jesus), “Why do You speak to them in parables?” And He answered and said to them, “To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been granted.”
“For whoever has, to him shall more be given, and he shall have an abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has shall be taken away from him. Therefore I speak to them in parables; because while seeing they do not see, and while hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.”
“And in their case the prophecy of Isaiah is being fulfilled, which says, ‘You will keep on hearing, but will not understand; and you will keep on seeing, but will not perceive; For the heart of this people has become dull, and with their ears they scarcely hear, and they have closed their eyes lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart and return, and I should heal them.’”
“But blessed are your eyes, because they see; and your ears, because they hear. For truly I say to you, that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see it and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.” Matthew 13:10-17 (NAS)
Psalm 115:16
“The heavens are the heavens of the LORD; but the earth He has given to the sons of men.” Psalm 115:16 (NAS)
