seriously, how many of us live in the land of excuses? i know the temptation to have an excuse for every little thing that i can't/don't want to do. it happens everywhere. work. running. family. marriage. too many of live our lives dreaming of what could have been, instead of being extremely grateful for what is.
so, after watching this video, what's your excuse? seriously? i know, i know. sometimes things like this just don't motivate me to actually change. sure, this tugs on the emotional strings. maybe a tear is shed. but change? that's not something normally seen by videos like this.
i challenge you to listen to this video. don't just watch it. in fact, turn away from your device and just listen to the message. at one point he says, "I don't need hands to hold her heart"(speaking of his wife). what a powerful statement right there.
do yourself a favor. the next time you encounter a difficult situation, think about nick, and flash as wide a grin as you possibly can. endeavor with everything in you to walk through life with a smile on your face. don't let circumstances dictate your attitude. rest in the assurance that Jesus loves you. even if you don't understand the chaos around you, you can trust the one who's in control.
so, the question is, what situation will you chose to combat with a smile today?
