What is the secret to a "full life"? After all, each of our lives runs a course from birth to death and most of us run through the seasons of maturing, working, bearing and raising children and then fading from the scene. What's it really all about anyhow? Psalm 127 tells us that unless the Lord is recognized as the center of it all, life is lived in vain. That understanding that all of life is His gift and that the major chapters of life: our work, our homes, our communities, our children...are all from Him is the key... when we recognize this truth, these gifts are completed, He is glorified and our lives reflect His handiwork.

127 Unless the Lord builds the house,
those who build it labor in vain.
Unless the Lord watches over the city,
the watchman stays awake in vain.
those who build it labor in vain.
Unless the Lord watches over the city,
the watchman stays awake in vain.
3 Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord,
the fruit of the womb a reward.
the fruit of the womb a reward.

Each day we have the opportunity to enter life under the guiding and providing hand and watchful and caring eye of God. And then we live life fully.

blessings!
