Most of them we find when we give our lives away - serving God, serving our family, serving others and keeping it all in balance. I've witnessed this in your lives too. <br /><br />This is what "Live Like You Were Dying" is all about. <br />*Speak Sweeter<br />*Love Deeper<br />*Give Forgiveness<br />*Embrace EternityAlden Schoeneberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02473879863772891585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22258275.post-1403846334750101342011-08-29T22:39:39.398-05:002011-08-29T22:39:39.398-05:00Hey Alden, powerful stuff.

God has put Melanie and your beautiful children in your life so that they can not only enjoy you in their lives, but them in yours. God gave us this beautiful "Gift" of life" and he wants us to live it to the fullest and enjoy all His treasures he's given us. <br />I love how God is using you in your life right now and look forward to where he'll take you.Geoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09621476014921310347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22258275.post-67440122954192166502011-08-29T21:59:44.496-05:002011-08-29T21:59:44.496-05:00Thanks David.

It's silly to think that God would bless my work while I live in disobedience by stealing time from my family. I'm afraid it just isn't a very Biblical strategy for leadership.Alden Schoeneberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02473879863772891585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22258275.post-31138758158527302992011-08-29T20:59:47.443-05:002011-08-29T20:59:47.443-05:00Alden, Great comments!

If we ever get God, family, and then ministry out of order we will fail. Thanks for the reminder.David Mannernoreply@blogger.com
