What is life like for you?

Three men were waiting to get into heaven. Peter tells them it is getting full so he can only admit those who have come to a horrible end. He asks for their story. The first man says: I suspected my wife had been cheating on me, so I went home early to try to catch her red-handed.

We live on the 25th floor of an apartment block. I searched the flat but found nothing. I went out to the balcony and found a man hanging off the railing! I was mad and stamped on his fingers until he let go and fell. He fell 25 stories but landed in the bushes.

He was stunned but okay. I ran to the kitchen grabbed the fridge and threw it at him, it killed him instantly. The stress caused a heart attack I died there on the balcony.  That sounds like a bad day, said Peter, and he let him in. The second man came forward Peter asks for his story.

I live on the 26th floor of an apartment building, I exercise on my balcony. This morning I fell over the edge but managed to grab the rail on the floor below. A man came out on the balcony. I thought I was saved but he stamped on my fingers. I let go but thankfully fell into the bushes below.

Thinking I was going to be okay this refrigerator fell out of the sky and crushed me. Again, Peter conceded it was a horrible end. The third man came forward and told his story. Picture this says the third man, trying to get away from a suspicious husband I hid inside a refrigerator!!!

Life has a nasty habit of catching us out, many can testify how horrible things have happened as they have gone through life, some of their own making, some no fault of their own others done by those wishing harm.

I talked last month about life being a daring adventure or nothing at all an adventure meant to be exciting. That doesn’t stop things happening, we are left to pick up the pieces and life ceases to be enjoyable.

No doubt some hoped life would change as we entered a new year but experience shows difficulties still exist. However hard it is let’s not lose sight of the fact life is an adventure to be cherished even enjoyed in good times and bad. From someone struggling at times to keep everything together know this to be true for holding on to this reality will help make life not just bearable but through the jumble and the mess, meaningful!
