Helen's philosophy of life:​

​

I saw a cartoon recently that struck me as being very thought-provoking, and true. Charlie Brown and Snoopy are pictured looking at a sunset, and Charlie said, “We only live once, Snoopy”. Snoopy replied, “Wrong. We only die once. We live every day."

​

As I pondered the cartoon, I thought how it reflected my philosophy of life. My philosophy is “Live, Light, and Love”. Live every day. Let the light into your life, and let it guide your love.

​

Light is ever present, even in what appears to be darkness. At night the moon provides light, as the sun does in the day, but the guiding light of our lives is ever present and not dependent upon the sun or moon for its existence. It is the light of the Holy Spirit, always present and always guiding our lives as we live every day.

​

The light and the joy of living will allow the love to flow from us to the people around us and the endeavors we engage in. From life and light love flows naturally with no effort on our part.

​

My philosophy of life is pretty simple and summed up nicely by Charlie Brown and Snoopy; We live every day so live it to the fullest; absorb the light of the Holy Spirit and let that light shine His love through you to everyone and everything you touch.

Live, light, and love. My philosophy of life.
