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. But time has a way of eventually blowing the dark foreboding clouds away, even if just long enough to allow us to see that the sun does actually still shine and our hope is still intact…weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning. Psalm 30:5
Thought of the Day— Having influential friends can be a good OR a bad thing. Make sure you have a circle of friends that build you up instead of pulling you down to their level…

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…
Thought of the Day—Sometimes when life becomes too much and we concentrate on our daily struggles to the point of skewing reality, we need to just take a step back from the cold, dark room of despair, turn around and peer out life’s window for a while; to take a long, hard look at life all around us so we can once again gain a proper perspective and a new appreciation for our own life and the possibilities that God has laid before us…
