Erik Weihenmayer (born September 23, 1968) is an acrobatic skydiver , long distance biker, marathon runner, skier, mountaineer, ice climber, and rock climber.On May 25, 2001 he the was the first person to reach the summit of Mount Everest. I didn’t say that right; he was the first blind person to reach the summit of Mount Everest. Life is what you choose to make it. A Business man lets out an angry sigh. Knowing that traffic will be slow he thinks WHY ME? WHY TODAY? JUST TELL ME WHY!
Outside of town a Farmer sees the storm rolling in and with JOY & CELEBRATION calls out We Are Blessed! At last the drought will end! You and I have a choice; we can be angry like the business man or we can be joyous like the farmer; it’s our choice and it begins with how we choose to make it. I saw two people on yesterday that caught my attention; both were in motorized wheel chairs. Now that in its self tell me that they are there for rest of their life. As I watched both, one was faster than the other; one was a man and one was a woman, the man had an older chair and the woman a newer on. Neither complained but moved quickly through the store. I watched as they returned to their vans. One drove their chair up in the van and then jumped into the driver seat and drove away. I think they both were farmers just like Erik finding the good in life’s problems. We are quick to think like the business man but as I watched those two on yesterday I like them have much to be thankful for. Maybe that is why the Lord starts off His praying with praise and not the problems.
Matthew 6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Matthew 6:10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Remember life is what you choose to make it you can focus on the problems or you can focus on overcoming them. Revelation 12:11 And they overcame him(the devil) by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; Be an over comer!
