One Life to Live?



What if we only have one life to live? What if we have infinite life-times? Eternity is all-inclusive, so I figure I will be (or I am) a part of Eternity. If it is just this one life, would I behave differently with each day? If there is another life after this (the Afterlife); how does this life affect it? I believe there are spiritual laws; you get what you give, compassion & forgiveness heals, or even the unique nature of the present moment. Some say life is a test; others say life is a game. For myself, I often step back & apply what intuitively feels like the right thing to do with the thoughts I receive & the emotions I feel. For myself, it draws a line in the sand, pointing to the importance & preciousness of life. All I can do is take each moment at a time & be as sincerely honest with myself as possible. I have glimpses of my past through memories, & of course I realize what is happening now. I believe I will reap what I sow, & I want that to be the harvest of a good quality of life based on Love as it says in 1st Corinthians 13:4-7. “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”
