Keys to Life

I read a book a while back, and following are the notes I concluded from it...worthy of sharing with everyone
Five amazing lessons life teaches us; via "The Five People You'll meet in Heaven".
(Eddie meets The Blue Man)-
Lesson 1:
*In this life, there are no random acts. We are all connected
* You can no longer separate one life from another than you can separate a breeze from the wind
* Fairness does not govern life and death. If it did, no good person would ever die young
* The human spirit knows, deep down, that all lives intersect. Death doesn't just take someone, it misses someone else; in the small distance between being taken and being missed, lives are changed.
* One life withers, another grows...Birth and death are part of a whole.
** Strangers are just family you have yet to come to know**
(Eddies meets Captain)-
Lesson 2:
* Sacrifice is a part of life. It is supposed to be. It's not something to regret, It is something to aspire to.
* Sometimes when you sacrifice something precious, you're not really losing it; you're just passing it on to someone else.

(Eddie meets Ruby)-
Lesson 3:
* People die because of loyalty (a reason) (to be loyal to one another)
* Holding anger is a poison. It eats you from inside. We think that hating is a weapon that attacks the person who harmed us. But hatred is a curved blade. The harm we do, we do to ourselves!
(Eddie meets Marguerite)-
Lesson 4:
* "Love, like rain, can nourish from above, drenching couples with a soaking joy. But sometimes under the angry heat of life, love dries on the surface and must nourish from below, tending to its roots, keeping itself alive".
* Lost love is still love. It takes a different form, that's all. You can't see their smile or bring them food or tousle their hair or move them around a dance floor. But when those senses weaken, another heightens. Memory. Memory becomes your partner. You nuture it. You hold it. You dance with it. Life has to end, love doesn't.
(Eddie meets Tala)-
Lesson 5:
* We are supposed to be where our existence takes us* Back to the first lesson of how we are all connected comes this conclusion:

****Each affects the other and the other affects the next, and the world is full of stories, but the stories are all one****

My thoughts: How amazing of thoughts are those..inspiring. To come to our own realization of unity... We read in the Word all about the unifying bonds of all our lives, and how we all are God's children. Well I think this book sums that idea up very well. All of us are connected; to think all around the world are our brothers and sisters in Christ...all who "are our family, we have yet to come to know". Good book, definitely recommend the read..if not, at least I've already got the main points out to you.
