In life sometimes bad things happen to good people, and good things happen to bad people. Sometimes the young die prematurely and old seem to live eternally. Sometimes those we love to leave and those that hate us cleave.Life is not easy. Sometimes we're confused and confounded by it. Oftentimes we don't understand it. Sometimes life just doesn't make sense. The truth is that regardless of the level of your education or your many years of life experience, life has a way of humbling us all. It is for this reason that we all must "walk by faith and not by sight." Faith is trusting God when life doesn’t make sense. Regardless of the much perplexing, senseless, confusing, confounding, and discouraging circumstances you find yourself in, believe that God works all things for your good. Believe that what the enemy meant for evil, God will turn into blessings.

In life, be a man or woman of his or her word, and let your word be your bond. Live an open, transparent and honest life. Lies will corrode your trustworthiness and weaken the foundation of your marriage. If you keep lying, eventually your spouse will find it hard to believe anything that you say or do. Once you lose trust or credibility with your spouse, it will take several years of proven credible living to begin to command half the respect and trust you used to enjoy. Trust must be earned, not demanded.

Life is like a box of chocolates, cheap, thoughtless, unthinking gift that no one ever asks for, nonreturnable because all you get back is another box of chocolates, In the end, you are left with nothing but broken bits filled with hardened jelly and teeth-shattering nuts, which, if you are desperate enough to eat, leaves nothing but an empty box of useless brown paper.
