Which is it?

I kept running into this guy this past week as my wife and I were in Branson, Missouri. It brought to my mind the question of everyone who loves food - "Do I live to EAT, or do I eat to LIVE"?   Of course, most of us would answer that we eat to LIVE.  Yet, I am not so sure I am always honest with myself on that one - particularly after a week where there is Lambert's [the home of the throwed rolls], Danna's [the best hamburger in Branson], Starvin Marvin's [best buffet in town]...... well you get the idea!

This triggered another 'Thought to Ponder' 

You have probably heard the phrase, 'You live and then you die'. What a sad and fatalistic view of life. It got me to thinking. "Do I live to DIE, or do I DIE to live"? It depends upon your view of eternity doesn't it? Am I living according to the view that it is all about the present - the earth - 'you only live once, so go for it' etc.  Or you can say with the apostle Paul, 'To live is Christ and to die is gain" Phil 1:21   And, in my dying I receive eternal life - life forever. Now that is life worth dying for. Lord, may it be that I daily die so that I might live.
