Live Your Life With Presentation

Have you recently dined in a five-star restaurant?

Let me refresh your memory.

First, the waiters wear tuxedoes and toupees. The tablecloth is immaculate and the orchids in front of you are fresh. The ambiance is gorgeous.

Second, the dishes aren’t called on a first name basis.

You have to use their complete names, such as Aroz a la Cobanna, and Paella de Barcelona. Or Drunkard Ducks Who Failed the Twelve Steps Program and French Frogs’ Legs with Manicured Toenails. (I made those two up.)

And the menu describes each dish so verbosely, you’d think poets wrote them. The lowly “burger” becomes Salisbury steak swathed in thick gravy sauce, sprinkled with roasted garlic, mixed with delectable button mushrooms on a hot plate. Served with crisp, buttered vegetables, hi-land rice, and sweet Japanese corn.

Wow. Makes you want to eat the menu.

Why are they called five-star restaurants?

Because of presentation. Ambiance. Style. Design. Atmosphere.

I have a suggestion for you.

Live your life with presentation.


Don’t be cut and dried. Don’t just be functional. Don’t be a “get-this-day-over-with” person. Don’t be so goal-oriented and job-obsessed, you no longer open yourself to the rich blessings that God pours onto you at every moment of life!

Value yourself. Put a little garnish. Have some style. Create ambiance in your life. Be five-star!

No, I’m not talking about luxury.

I’m talking about enjoying life. About breathing with passion.

Sing. Dance. Dream. Stop to smell the flowers. Listen to the birds and watch sunsets. Play like a child. Pray like a child. Eat more ice cream. Embrace the people that you love. Take vacations often. Give more. Smile more. Worry less. Say “thank you” with all your heart. Have more fun!


Don’t be ordinary.

Because you’re not.

You’re His child.

Live with gusto!
