The End of the Show

[Carol Anne Kincaid~Paradis]

• The End of the Show
  
  I once knew a young man who came upon the largest natural gas reserve in the US; overnight, he became so fabulously wealthy that he didn’t know what to do with himself. Suddenly, he had all the time and money in the world to party, and it seemed to him that there was nothing more to work for. It wasn’t long before he fell into a crowd that catered to his every whim, so when drinking started to get the better of him, his group of friends didn’t want him to shape up or change because that would have meant they would have needed to change as well.
  
  Then one day, the authorities found his boat floating abandoned off Miami Beach. They never found him. So the question is: Was all that wealth a gift? The answer is no. It wasn’t a gift. It was a test.
  
  Most of the things we receive in this world are tests, not gifts. The question is never what do we have. Rather, it’s what are we going to do with it.
  
  Even the darkness we experience is a test. In a split second, all we are, all we’ve done, all our worth can change. Accident, heart attack, stroke… you name it. In one second, everything that we think we are is nothing. The only thing that lasts is what we have done.
  
  At the end of our show, when we go Upstairs, will we be able to say that the world become a better place because we existed? Did we affect the lives of others for the positive? Did we use the dark moments and difficulties in our life to help us grow our certainty and consciousness?
  
  Take a moment to think about the tests that you are facing today, and then think of three ways you can use them to assist you in your spiritual growth

ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND...STAY SAFE...LOVE AND BLESSINGS...
