What Life Has Taught Me

Words for My Grandchildren

By: Susan Deborah Schiller

What life has taught me…

With a voice of thanksgiving and praise,

I will speak life into everyone I see.

I dare to believe the best is yet to be.

So I will keep on gazing heavenbound, counting the stars.

I focus on the horizon, chasing the Light.

I'll become comfortable in my own skin.

Life is about love.

Loving God, who loves to spend time with us.

Loving my newlywed husband, who loves to love me.

Loving my children and grandchildren more and more each day.

Loving my sister and brothers, my mother and her brother.

Loving my Facebook and Twitter friends.

And especially, loving me.

Many times it means saying no,

So that we can say yes to our destiny.

Never choose the easy path. It always leads nowhere.

Choose to leap off the cliff. Leap into what you love.

Provision follows passion.

You're never alone.

Know the Kingdom of God is within you, as near as your own heartbeat.

You are ALWAYS safe in His loving care.

That means you are free to take risks.

Be a 10-talent child of God.

 

Live economically simple so that there is equality.

The hardships of life teach us to become fully alive and fully human.

Talk to people and truly listen to what they say.

Most of us just want to be seen, to be heard, to be known.

And so does God.

I love you and I'm so glad you are in my family!

I love you so much… forever.

With all my love,

Sue

In her lifetime, Susan has served in duties ranging from home school mom – to pastor –  to full-time deliverance minister – and to Midwest regional prayer coordinator for a large international ministry.
