Bucket List

Quite often we hear people talk about their bucket list – the stuff they want to do before they die.  Many of us have a bucket list in our head – some big stuff, and some not so big stuff.  They can range from the grand stuff like “climbing Mt Everest” to just “visiting grandma that you haven’t seen for 10 years” to even simpler things like “learn to ride a horse” (Now that can be a big deal for some people – especially if they’re petrified of horses!)

But how about a “Life-List”? – A list of things we want to accomplish EVERYDAY in life eg one such example could just be to identify and be thankful for something each day. I recall hearing a story of a pastor who decided to do just that – he had decided he would do just that.

One day, the pastor was robbed of all his possessions … So what did he have to be thankful for? When you’re not wealthy AND you end up being robbed of what little you have, what can you be thankful for? Well, it seems the pastor managed to be thankful that he actually he was the “rob-bee” and not the “robber”.  Interesting perspective!

So what’s on your Life-List?

And if you’re lucky enough to have an existing tenant, you have till 9 August 2011 to comply. The only exemption (more…)
