Life on Earth…What a Journey!

Life on Earth…What a Journey reminds us there is so much to cherish in this world. Every child is born full of wonder and often even the simplest things can inspire, entertain and excite. A beautiful view can give children a new perspective. Swings can send their imaginations soaring. Even chores like laundry can give children new challenges and responsibilities.

We all want to give our children more and to broaden their horizons; however, sometimes teaching simple appreciation for life is all they need. There is plenty of time for gadgets, gizmos and fancy vacations. Inspire them with a trip to the park. Teach them that diversity is beautiful. Give them the opportunity to learn tasks that will serve them for the rest of their lives.

We need to make life intentional and live it to the fullest. The goal of this book is to build an appreciation of life and friendships, to model thankfulness, and to encourage being good stewards of what we have. Often, the simple activities which cost very little are the things we remember the longest.

Along this journey of life, we have many helps and those willing to teach us, including parents, grandparents, teachers, coaches, pastors, churches, the Bible and the Lord Himself. Life is a precious gift. Teach children to make good decisions, find joy in small pleasures, and learn how to love. Teach them to enjoy life to the point that they can say, “Wow, what a journey!”
