A Real Life Quote

This quote is on a plaque hanging in the coffee shop I frequent on my lunch breaks throughout the week. While it is featured in this picture on a rubber stamp, it still reads the same words that strike me every time I read them in Whats the Scoop (if your ever in Richmond Hill GA you should consider checking it out, order some homemade soup and meet the nice owner). Anyways, the words always fascinate me as I ponder over them, honestly its probably more like I over analyze considering that's one thing I seem to do quit well according to my friends. This fascination is due to the fact that while it is far too easy to say what a great quote this is and we would probably all admit it either gives us a warm fuzzy feeling or a sense of cynicism, it's also brutally true that most of us living here on this earth do the exact opposite... we regret the past, we worry about the future and we just float through the day wishing it to be over most of the time. How sad is this truly the case? Maybe we should do some serious analyzing of how we manage our lives and our thinking, even if it ends in over analyzing. At least we could then say we actually put some meaningful thought to it. God came to earth through his one and only son so that we might have abundant life. That is certainly worth some thinking time...
