Matters That Matter: The Choice is Mine
posted in matters that matter, substance on Nov 11, 2010 for theme: choices
Choose: to select from a number of possibilities.
Reflecting on the theme of Choices, I have been struggling to write something catchy and thought-provoking. Nothing seems to be bubbling up to the surface. The harder I work at it, the less I can find to say. Then it dawned on me. Maybe I am making this too complicated.
So how about this?
We are the accumulation of our choices.
The questions to ask ourselves are: Am I accumulating what I want? What matters? What is important? What is reflective of who I am and what I value?
The choice is, always has been, and always will be mine.
Choice. What a miraculous, powerful and amazing gift.

God gave us the gift of free will. The ability to make our own choices. What a huge responsibility! Each and every choice we make determines who and what we become. I continually hope I am able to make the best choices for myself and those I love.
I found a bumper sticker that I hung up in my Sunday School room for the kids: Your choices reflect your character.
I thought that was pretty profound. There is a choice in everything we do or think, and a consequence for that choice. If we all learned that lesson, we would make better choices and have a happier life.
