Thought of the Day—Believe it or not, the only constant in life is change and that is a very good thing. If we never allowed God to change our attitudes and behaviors, we could never be molded into what He had intended for us to be. So as you face another of life’s challenges head on, have faith that God actually knows what He is doing. Just consider your pain and tears, your loss or your trials as life experiences that can be transformed into uniquely hued embroidery floss, applied by God to the beautiful, intricate and very ornate tapestry of your life. Allow Him to delicately but deliberately interweave the ordinary into something quite extraordinary…YOU…

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–3/9/18
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–3/4/18
Thought of the Day—Did you know you are only as good as your word? So speak your words carefully with thought, truth, and wisdom; let your yes be yes and your no be no…no maybes or buts about it…and always speak the truth with love. Sometimes easier said than done, huh?
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…
Thought of the Day–2/24/18
Thought of the Day—Isn’t it funny how much we talk about love but how little we actually practice it? For love is an action word and not a spectator sport; we need to become a participant and start taking action. How will you show love to someone today?
Thought of the Day–2/21/18
Thought of the Day—In a world full of toads, leap at the chance to be a frog (F.R.O.G.) and Fully Rely On God. It will toad-tly change your life!
Thought of the Day–2/20/18
Thought of the Day—May our hearts be like the Aloe plant—tough enough on the outside to protect us from the turmoil of this world, but soft enough to absorb life giving nutrients. And like the aloe plant, may our hearts have healing properties to apply to the hurts of others…
