Life is an on-going journey which its destination is achieved after death.  Life is meaningless without love and peace.

My life your life is like a moving vehicle of which we are the pilots, our virtues and qualities are the passengers.
At each junction, we have to use our virtue, either to help others, or to do a great work. Also we have some vices that sometimes we pick them on the way which might cause us harm or distraction. They can still be dropped on the way at any giving time, depending on the time the pilot discovers them.
“Never allow any vice to get to your final junction with you”.
The vices in our lives can cause us a lot, likewise the virtues. All that matters is how we are able to manage and take them in our lives. As Pope Francis said in one of his encyclicals, “bad news, good news, it all depends on how we take it.”
The interesting part of life comes when one works in union with Holy Spirit, who inspires us on daily basis. It takes one’s determination, focus and union with Christ to take the right path.
Patience can never be forgotten on this journey of life. It is the one which takes us to a distant with time.  Openness leads us to a path that brings growth.  At each stage of life’s journey, growth and transformation is expected. T his happens depending on one’s determination, openness to accept change, unity with Christ and neighbor.
In life, we need each other. The journey of life is an adventure filled with uncertainties, but sweet and interesting when you have a good companion; the companion who is always ready to raise you when you fall, whom you can rest on his or her shoulder, one who will encourage you never to give up, but keep going with hope and trust in God.
Life has unfolding and several crossroads. At each cross-road, there is a decision making, which need carefulness and proper discernment.
There are times in life when it will seem as if nothing is going-on well with you. That is the time you need to be stronger, pray, trust and hope in God. that very moment has a message and revelation for you. God is preparing you for something greater.
In our lives journey, one needs to be careful with different people you will meet at different phases of life. This people come either to pull you down, share your grace and strength or to assist you to the right path, but with interest and reward.
While some persons come just to render selfless assistance to your destination. Make friends with all these people, but never allow them to take charge over you, except that which has come to render selfless help at any cost; work hand-in-hand with the person. At some point, the person might try to turn away from you, betray or text you, due to human weakness; never fall to it, be strong.
Mind you,” never put you trust in human, but only in God”.
There are times when you will be experiencing sorrow, pain, lose, disappointments, happiness, joy and success. In all these, be focused and never be distracted. Live a happy life and enjoy every moment of your life. Live it fulfilled as if it ends now and never wait for tomorrow to live a good and happy life.
The challenges we meet in our lives, makes us who we are. They make us strong or weak. One ought to embrace life challenges positively, even though it might be difficult.  When a child is born, everyone feels so happy. Yes, it is a thing of joy and gratitude to God, but let us not forget that the child has been brought into this world to start a journey of uncertainties. The child will always need Divine and human assistance.   As a saying goes, “You are because I am”. Let us assist each other to journey at the right path and live a life that worth our creation.
Enjoy your life, but never be carried away and you forget your creator and your purpose of being.
Life is sweet only if you live it in union with God and your neighbour.
Life is a treasure we need to cherish, nurture well and be grateful to God at all times. Let us live our lives in accordance with God’s will.
