There’s an unseen curtain in life…like a stage with its platform and curtain.

Are we an observer or a participant? Do we watch helplessly and complain about the play we are watching…lousy actors, poor script, props and backdrop aren’t good enough. Or can we move to the other side of the curtain and become a participant? Can we offer our services, suggestions, manpower, whatever is needed to help make the play better?

Take time to learn and study what concerns and interests you. Learn all you can to make thoughtful comments and decisions about where you can best help. You are here for a reason – to offer input and help.

This big world cannot ‘turn’ by itself. God put us here with purpose – to tend the earth – utilize its resources, create, make worthwhile projects of value to the earth and to others. There’s a lot of acreage on our planet. We need to be aware and responsible for the ‘acreage’ we live on; to tend and care for it; to beautify it and build it up…keeping it organized. It is our responsibility.

Decide today to become a participant in building up your part of the world. Learn, read, study, observe, think about the past and how it relates to our future. Take yourself and family on trips around the world and see how other people live. Listen to them talk. Watch them cook. Eat their food. Immerse yourself in this beautiful play called life.

Don’t stay stuck in uncomfortable theatre chairs when the action is happening on the other side of the curtain!
