Thought of the Day–3/27/18
Thought of the Day—If everyone made decisions based on the greater good as opposed to “what’s in it for me?”, we would live in a much different world…
Thought of the Day–3/26/18
Thought of the Day—Sometimes it doesn’t take a huge event to rock somebody’s world; sometimes it just takes something as small as just showing up with mouth closed and the heart and ears fully opened…
Thought of the Day–3/21/18
Thought of the Day—Don’t you just love spring? Watching flowers pushing their way up out of the ground and blossoms blooming on the branches of trees and shrubs give everyone a renewed sense of hope and the promise of warmer days ahead. Don’t you just find the feeling that the spring season invokes irresistible? There is something else that brings about a similar feeling; recognition. Just a simple “thank you”, “I appreciate what you do” or “good job” can lift a person’s spirit and bring a smile to their face. It can make a difference in someone’s work performance, overall attitude or even general behavior. And it’s free; it costs you nothing, nada, zilch! Give it a try and watch what happens; you just may be surprised by the response from your coworker, friend, neighbor, stranger OR your own family member. After all, every day God gives us a visual “I think you’re pretty special”, by providing us with all the grandeur that nature provides. Can’t you take the time to give a special “shout out” to those around you? Kind words are like honey, sweet to the soul and healthy for the body. Proverbs 16:24 (NLT)
Thought of the Day–3/13/18
Thought of the Day—“If I had it to do all over again…” I’m sure we’ve either said or heard that statement before; it is the anthem of regret. It could be a past regret about anything from kids, marriage, education, drugs to a career choice. But guess what? You can’t change it; it’s in your past locked behind thick stone walls and a mighty mahogany door. And while you may find a twisted comfort in your painful memories of past regret and remorse, it’s time to let it go and forgive. Forgive yourself, forgive the others that were involved in the situation. Stop trying to mentally rewrite the script; just do a one eighty and step away…You deserve more in your present and future than a regurgitated past…
Thought of the Day–3/9/18
Thought of the Day—Congratulations! If you are reading this, it means that God has granted you another day; the blank page sitting before you represents YOUR day. Let’s make sure today’s page is filled with a smile on your face and a song in your heart, fun filled adventures, prayers and praise, your best foot forward as opposed to two steps back. For this could be just another of many pages added to your life journal or the last page flipped. That is why it is so important that we make every moment count. Today will be the memories made that we and/or our loved ones reflect upon tomorrow…
Thought of the Day–3/6/18
Thought of the Day—Do you want to have some fun today? Pick up a rock and throw it! I don’t mean in a literal sense like at a passerby or your neighbor’s cat but into the placid pond of humanity called your circle of influence. You know how, when a stone is tossed into a tranquil pond, the ripples start from the point of entry and keep edging outward? That stone represents an act of kindness delivered to another; we never really know how much that one act has the same ripple effect to positively influence the lives of others. That stone could represent the gift of time, a prayer lifted up, a card sent, a phone call made, picking up someone’s tab or simply giving a hug to someone you know is going through something difficult right now. I think you get the idea. And better yet, pick up a few pebbles at one time, toss them in and watch what happens…ripples in a pond…love in action…pick up a rock and toss it…today!
Thought of the Day–3/5/18
Thought of the Day—Virtually anything can be used for either good or evil. A simple large stone, when used in conjunction with many others, can build a magnificent castle but it can also be used to crush a man’s skull. An ordinary rifle can be used to hunt for much needed food but can also be used to end a person’s life. And the internet can be used to retrieve huge amounts of useful information but can also be a tool through social media to degrade and bully others. Even the tongue can build up or destroy another’s self-esteem. We as humans have a great responsibility at our disposal; let’s strive to become great builders instead of negligent destroyers…
Thought of the Day–3/1/18
Thought of the Day—Like light shining through a crystal prism, dispersing a rainbow of colors throughout a room, so too are those who are obedient to God and offer hope and peace to this world…
Thought of the Day–2/28/18
Thought of the Day—This world would be a much better place if we simply talked a lot less and listened more— to our God with great anticipation, to our loved ones without judgment or condemnation and to our own selves with sincere honesty…
