As I settle in to select quotes for tonight, my choice has been influenced by the events of the day. This afternoon I officiated a funeral service for a man who knew me most of my life. He lived 94 incredibly full years, and today his family and friends said goodbye and entered the journey of grieving which actually reminds us of life and love. So, my quotes tonight will focus on life. May they bring you some sense of God’s goodness and presence in all things. ~Monty
Every man dies. Not every man really lives. ~William Wallace
“Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.” ~Dr. Seuss

Love like you’ll never be hurt,
Sing like there’s nobody listening,
And live like it’s heaven on earth.” ~William W. Purkey

“Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
Life is beauty, admire it.
Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is a promise, fulfill it.
Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is a tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is luck, make it.
Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
Life is life, fight for it.”

This was written by a friend from Empire Avenue, but the quotes will remind you to truly live life. Many of us forget to truly enjoy our days.
Just Reblogged on my blog, I think many times we need to remember about the joy of life and what we all need to do each day. Thank you for sending me to your blog and for this great post.
Thanks Michelle!
