Why

Life is such a mystery, Why are we here? Life can bring misery, or much happiness. I am but a mere pebble, in the vast universe. Sometimes I am a rebel, with no direction at all. Father time has ticked by. Girl in the mirror isn't me As I stare I wonder why, have I been a victim of time. I behold a stranger's eyes looking back at me, I am still taken aback and I sigh. The puzzle pieces don’t fit. Life’s an enigma;unsolvable too many unknown answers. Why can’t it just be solvable, its clues are likened to riddles. Am I just a puppet on a string? If so, who is the puppeteer? All of life’s uncertainties stings. One just gets numb to the pain. Alexis Y. 03/29/2021

When life gets hard I look up because life is hard, for sure!

The Bible tells us the reason we are here is because God wanted something to love and to love Him back. We are here to simply give honor and glory to The Most High. When we do that we are satisfied inside because we are completing our purpose. God is not a puppeteer. We have a free will. God Bless, JB

Every day is an adventure! Consider how light falls on one grain of sand on the beach alters how it falls on everything else! If you don't pull your own strings, others will seize the opportunity to lead you down the garden path! Take care! Aloha! Rico
