Live the Show

I just read the following words

over the door of a school~

"LIFE IS NOT A DRESS REHEARSAL".

And as I thought about it

I believe

Life actually is.

Think about it for a second

as Dress Rehearsal is defined as~

PRACTICE~

"Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me—everything you heard from me and saw me doing. Then the GOD of peace will be with you" (Philippians 4:9)

And as a

TRIAL RUN~

"Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the LORD has promised to those who love HIM" (James 1:12)

or as

Merriam~Webster defines it~

"the final rehearsal of a live show,

in which everything is done as it would be in a real performance"

Hmm.
