Thought of the Day–11/7/17

Hand to hold

Thought of the Day—It may take a village to raise a child, but that doesn’t give anyone the permission to abandon their children in the village square.  We need to once again cherish and treat our children as they really are; a precious gift from God, an eternal soul entrusted to our care, the next generation in a pint sized form.  They are not someone else’s responsibility, your best friend in training or constant irritant…they are a reminder from God to us that we too, still need to find the wonderment in the everyday, what it means to once again enjoy the essence of innocence in trusting others, to possess a colored blind heart… Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” Matthew 19:14

Candle in the Dark

Thought of the Day—Sometimes, you may feel all alone and emotionally isolated from others, with your total self-worth hovering around zero on your positive self-image thermometer.  But don’t go there…don’t believe the lie.  For you are a hidden treasure, a candle in the dark—attracting others to the warmth of your being, God’s prized possession.  Never let anyone convince you otherwise…
