VALUE WHAT YOU HAVE!

Sometimes we underestimate the good things we have, chasing after the mirages of false treasures.

We often see people letting go of their children, their families, their spouses, their friends, their profession,

Their knowledge - accumulated over many years,
Their good health, the good things in life.

They throw out what God has given them so freely, things which were nourished with so much care and effort .

Look around and appreciate what you have:

Your home, your loved ones & friends on whom you can really count, the knowledge you have gained, your good health.
And all the beautiful things of life, that are truly your most precious treasure.

We can no longer shower kindness on those we love, after they have died.

It is useless to want to re-do
the work that we may have done negligently.
it‘s best to appreciate and do things well now.

Ask of God at every moment
That our problems and concerns
Never degenerate
Into feelings of sadness and anxiety.

Be in union with God,
Who will provide the courage needed
For victory in the struggle;

Because God gives with abundance what we need.
We are all imperfect.
Always praise and value your family.

Do all you can to make it even better.

Always praise and value your work-companions .

See what you can do to improve your environment.

Instead of isolating yourself
Because of weakness or failure,
Seek to invest in true and constructive friendships in your life.

Faith in God is necessary
To strengthen self-esteem
in dealing with daily problems.

My wish for you
be with God – and may God be with you.
