A Good Life

What constitutes a good life????? This is a very good question!!!!! A very good question indeed, that answers will range from riches to health to family life!!!!! How about you??? What do you think constitutes a good life??? Or rather, do you have a good life??? Many people will probably say they have a good life. They have a good job surrounded by family and friends!!!! Some people will say thay have a good life because they can buy everything that money can buy!!!! Many people will say they have a good life because they have good health!!!! Some people will say they have a good life because they are very successful and people recognize them wherever they go!!!!

Let us analyze each one of these answers!!!! Oh, no!!!! Here she is again with her analysis!!! Why??? Do you have a problem with that???? Ugh!!!! She is in a rare form again!!!! Just kidding!!!! Ha! Ha! Ha! If you do not want to hear it, then I will stop!!!! Oh, oh, You hurt her feelings!!! Sorry!!!!! Okay, I am ready to rock n roll with the analysis!!!! Wow!!!! That was an easy 180 degree turn around from gloom to sunny and vibrant!!!!

A good job!!! Having a good job means you can live comfortably. You can pay your house notes, pay bills, buy food and other necessities in life!!!! Hold on!!! How about if you are just working for minimum wage???? I do not call that a good job!!! People with minimum wage cannot survive in this economy!!!! Any comments about this, anyone??? You can survive with minimum wage if you are a student living with your parents, or a retiree just trying to get up and do something to keep them from getting bored!!!! You can survive with minimum wage if this is not your only job!!!! Yikes!!!! That means having another job!!!! Goodness gracious!!!! If you have more than one job, there goes your family life!!!!! That is why the family structure is not as good as it was!!! It is hard enough as it is with one job!!!! Am I right???

Money!!!! Do you think you will have good life with lots of money???? Maybe, if you do not love your money soooo much that you think it is your god!!!! Yes, some people worship their money that all they can think off is how to get more money!!!! They forgot that there is someone up there that gave them the good fortune!!!! That is right!!!! The spiritual aspect gets lost in the quest for money!!!! Look at how many celebrities get in trouble!!!! They have money, fame and fortune, but they are still not happy!!!! Needless, to say, money does not constitute good life!!!! But if you do not have money, you will be in the poor house!!!! Then you will not be happy also!!!! You will not be able to afford your house, food etc. Is there a happy medium??? There always is, it is up to the individual!!!! What do you think????

Health!!!! Someone once told me that health is very important!!!! If you have money and you are not healthy, what is the use of having money???? Money just becomes a tool to buy medicine to prolong your life, your daily existence that might not be as joyful as you would like it to be!!!!

Family and friends!!!! Without family and friends, you are nothing!!! You will live a lonesome life. What is money and health if you do not have your loving family with you???? You do not have anyone that will be with you until the very end!!!! Sure, you can have acquaintances, but it is not the same!!! When you run out of money, these so- called friends will be gone also!!!! They are just in temporarily while you are in your glory days!!!!! Any comments????

So, what constitutes a good life???? It is not only one factor, but a combination of factors that is intertwined with each other!!!! And do not forget the most important thing!!!! God!!!!! We owe everything to Him!!!! Amen!!!!
