Life

The last night I was in Haiti over Christmas break was New Year's Eve. Father Bruno, the famous Haitian Priest held a service at 11 to usher in the New Year. I just wanted to share a little bit of what he had to say which I hope you will be able to translate to your own lives.

2010 was clearly a bad year for Haiti:
Earthquake- claimed many lives
Hurricane- affected many countries
Cholera- claims many lives every day

We gather because we could have been the people to die.

We all are subject to time. No matter what we do, time moves on, and so must we. Every day we gain more experience to build our lives around, but how do we live?

A person who lives a good life follows God.

If you have understanding, you will see the only thing you need is Him.

Everyday we have the oppertunity to do something new. We are able to start over.

We have to change, and if we are unhappy, we must find the way to Jesus. With Jesus anything is possible. With Jesus we are able to make sense out of our lives.

I hope this inspires you for the new year. I want to leave you with a little quote from one of the hardest working and accomplished men I know. Whenever we would praise him for all the good he had done, he would just give us kind of a puzzled look and say, "No, It's not me, not me at all. It's my Jesus. Without my best friend, Jesus, I could not do anything."
