Thought of the Day—Isn’t it funny how, after losing a loved one, we sometimes feel guilty for moving on with our daily lives? It’s almost as if we are afraid to move forward because we might forget or disrespect that loved one. God didn’t intend for our life to stop the moment our loved ones’ did. Sometimes, we need to just pause and remember that person with a smile or a tear and move forward, one step at a time, one day at a time…
Thought of the Day—How welcome do you make others feel in your presence? Do they sense that they can knock on your heart’s door or do they cross the street to avoid your prickly pear persona? Something to ponder if you ever feel loneliness creeping in and wonder why…
Thought of the Day— What would it take to brighten YOUR day? What can you do to brighten someone else’s day? You would be surprised how much taking the time to make someone feel special can actually lift your own spirits…
Thought of the Day—Sometimes grief hangs stagnant in our lives like a low hanging, dark smothering cloud deck, just waiting to descend and choke out our joy.

Psalm 30:5

Thought of the Day— What kind of attitude do you carry around? Do you look at the woes of this world and declare, “There is no hope!” or do you embrace the truth that hope most certainly rises up and makes it’s self known in the most unlikely places?
Thought of the Day—Receiving entitlements without the investment of effort is like buying a size X-large shirt with a slim fit; it just doesn’t make sense…
Thought of the Day— It’s better to have a window to your soul than a wall built around your heart…
Thought of the Day—Birds aren’t intended to be held in captivity but to fly free and uninhibited. So it is with our souls; God doesn’t want us to get entangled by the woes of this world but rather to soar above our circumstances and to focus on the bigger picture. For we are only sojourners on a journey and this is not our home. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be involved in this world to influence positive change while we are here… just don’t be tempted to pitch a tent…
Thought of the Day—There are times in our lives when we desperately attempt to tighten our grip so we can hold on to something or someone that should have been released long ago into God’s trusting hands…
