Worthwhile

“At least three times a day, deny yourself some legitimate pleasure…for the love of God. These little ‘deaths’ are so many rehearsals for the final death. Dying is a masterpiece, and to do it well, we must die daily.” 

~ Venerable Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen (Wartime Prayer Book)

That's the key, isn't it? Often times life can seem like a long, pointless, to-do list and I quickly slip into the "life sucks and then you die" mindset. But that's the beautiful thing about Christianity: we are enabled to use these tasks and trails for our betterment. A chore, a homework assignment or a work shift seems so much more bearable when offered up for something truly worthwhile.
