The Formula

I got to thinking the other day how I've often wished for a magic formula for putting my life together. You know, so I won't mess up so much. Well, I've determined that there is a formula we can identify if we look at things from a slightly different point of view.

Let's say I want to make a Tuna Noodle Casserole.  I would need the proper ingredients in order to get the results I want. I can't just throw in whatever I want, willy nilly, and come out with a Tuna Casserole.  I love chocolate, but chocolate would not go well in a tuna casserole.

My point is, my life is not a haphazard guess at getting things right. There are specific ingredients that go into it in order for it to come out with joyful results.

All these ingredients are given to us without measure or price.

Forgiveness

Faith

Endurance

Love

And the will to accept these gifts.

That's it, that's all! If we are willing to accept these gifts, the end result is guaranteed.
