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

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…
