168 Hours makes one week. 52 weeks make a year. A few years makes one life. We frequently don’t see it or feel it – but we sense a profound change in the air. It’s as though the sand beneath our feet is shifting. What used to be common sense is not so common anymore. What many of us thought was solid rock has become shifting sand. Such drastic changes stir in us a growing sense that there is more to living than what money can buy. That life is too short to miss out on what is truly important.
How many of you have read the book, Life’s Little Instructions? I know it’s been a long time favorite of mine, and each year, I even get the calendar. It’s whimsical and offers some great things to thing about for that day. When I got the opportunity to review the book, “Life’s Too Short to Miss The Big Picture” by Steve Diggs, compliments of Kathy Carlton Willis Communications, I felt a similar connection.
This book provides you quick insight into some things we should all take a little extra time doing and the best part, is that it is written for Christians. Through a series of short, unique “Life Notes”, Steve Diggs helps you push aside the daily stresses and worries, and guide you toward making the most of what’s important. He will help you realize that life ahead looks good. You will learn to awake with a smile, and drift to sleep with a contented heart. This is a book about excellent living. You will learn how to make the time count, slay the dragon and never miss The Big Picture.
Some of the topics discussed are:
- Counting Your Blessings
- Become a Beautiful Listener
- Help Meet the Needs of Others
- Choose Where to Put Your Faith
- Lead With Your Heart
- Live In The Real World
- Be A Cheerleader
There are 70 of these amazing topics that Steve takes you through. My favorite was Counting Your Blessings. If you have ever watched White Christmas, there is a part in the movie where Bing Crosby and Rosemary Clooney are sitting in the hotel restaurant because she can’t sleep. Bing sings the song, “If you are worried and you can’t sleep, try counting your blessings instead of sheep, and you’ll fall asleep counting your blessings.” Basically it’s about how to turn lifes’ lemon moments into those spiritual lemonade ones.
