LIFE IS GOOD
By: Joseph J. Mazzella
Life is so good. Life is so beautiful. Life is so glorious.
It never fails to amaze me with its wonder and joy.
I find it hard to understand at times how so many people can say that life is bad.
It is like they are staring at the one bare spot in a field
full of flowers and complaining about how barren and lifeless the field is.
How do I know that life is good?
I just open my eyes, ears, heart, soul, and mind everyday. God does the rest.
When I watch a beautiful sunset and realize that Earth
might not be Heaven but sometimes it can seem very close,
I know that life is good.
When I hear the birds singing for joy in the morning
and the frogs croaking happily in the evening, I know that life is good.
When I hug my daughter and two sons everyday,
I know that life is good.
When I look through the photo albums of my children
growing up in happiness through the years, I know that life is good.
When I play with my lovable dogs and pet my purring cats,
I know that life is good.
When I eat a delicious meal, smell a flower, sing a song,
read a book, and just breath in and out, I know that life is good.
And when I see the fireflies dancing with a thousand lights
around the graveyard in my backyard on a Summer night,
I know that life is not only good but is also eternal.
If you knew that you had just a week to live
would you complain about how bad life is,
or would you finally see all the good in life that was always there?
Would you spend your final breaths cursing
or telling those you love just how much you love them?
Don't miss life. Embrace it in all of its goodness.
See how very easy it can be to live and to love.
Realize that you can choose to be happy.
Know that God is love, life is love, and you can be love as well.
Feel how much God loves you, forgives you, and wants you to live in joy.
Open your eyes, ears, heart, soul, and mind and
let God show you the love that is all around you.
Yes, life is good.
