Only One Life
We have but one life here…It pays, no matter what comes after it, to try and do things, and not merely to have a soft and pleasant time. (Theodore Roosevelt, 26th U.S. president)
“Teddy” was right. We have only one life to live. And his counsel is good: “try and do things” . . . not merely to have an easy and fun life. He achieved a great deal in the military and in politics, but there is an even higher calling for us to pursue. God has placed each of us where we are with the talents and opportunities he’s given us to honor him by sharing his love and serving others.
Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people (Colossians 3:24).
