In 1955 there was a show on television that surprised it’s guest with a preview of their lives. Can you imagine if people were brought forth from your past what they would say about you? Let’s not go backwards, but; what do you think people you interact with on a daily basis really think about you; what are they saying when you are not in the room? The theater was filled to its capacity, the lights went down and a hush fell over the audience; soft music began to play and the curtain slowly began to rise. I have no doubt we have all experienced this at one time or another in our lives.

Movies and stage performances are a poplar form of entertainment in our society, if a script of your life was written would it include intrigue, deception, ambition above all else, loveless relationships, fortune and fame; leading ultimately to a life ended in loneness. We all hope our lives will be filled with joy, peace, good health, loving family and friends, employment that we love and a quiet exit from life’s stage when the clock has chimed for the last time. Life is a mystery, the journey an adventure and the conclusion unknown.

It has it’s ups and downs, peaks and valleys, tears and joy, heartbreak and pain, however; after every storm the rainbow appears. The choices we make as we walk life’s path result in the consequences we must face whether positive or negative. We all have the opportunity to rewrite our script, to change the negatives into positives; to follow the ONLY example of unconditional love the world has ever known. When the final act is over and the curtain falls the love and memories created will linger in every heart we have touched along the way.

As we rest from the burdens of life the love left behind will be a guiding light to the greatest source of love, Jesus the Christ. This is your life, the opportunity is now; you have the choice to write the ending of our own story. What will be your choice, eternal life with Jesus or ashes upon the ground?
