Answers ? ? ? ? ListentoLife.org LISTEN TO LIFE by Dr. Joey Faucette A father was telling his little girl what his own childhood was like. He said, "We used to skate outside on a frozen pond for hours and hours until way after dark. And I had a swing made from a tire and it hung from a tree in our front yard and I'd swing and sing in my loudest voice. And we rode our pony that was named Silver all around the farm and down to the pond. And in the summertime, we picked wild raspberries and ate them until we thought we would pop." The little girl was so wide-eyed, taking in all of these fun times her father had as a little boy. At last she said, "I sure wish I'd gotten to know you sooner!" Do you ever wish you'd known someone sooner? Or, talked with a friend more often? Or, taken time out to enjoy life more? Do you ever wish you'd had more fun with your children? Or, taken life less seriously and played more often? Get to know the people around you sooner—like today. Go visit your father like you've been meaning to. Call that school teacher who meant so much to you and thank her. As you do, you Live Positive and make a life worth living.

Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him." But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. – I Corinthians 2:9-10
