Thought of the Day—There resides in each of us a mystery. It begins with an invisible tie that binds together the hearts of family. Some members are bonded by blood while others are bonded by adoption, either by one of a legal means, marriage or other circumstances but each just as important and vital as the others; for their branches are grafted into the main family tree and the same lifeblood of family runs through each branch. And even though there may be internal struggles within the family at times, when adversity comes that same love deepens, the impenetrable bond broadens and together becomes a formidable shield of defense and protection against its’ foe. Today, let us not knit pick and illuminate our differences but instead, celebrate our uniqueness as part of the unwavering inclusion of family…

Thought of the Day—Why is it that we rush to immunize our children from diseases but leave them completely exposed to the negative influences of this world. We, as adults, are the caretakers and gatekeepers of these young minds and we WILL be held accountable for corrupting them…

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—We are but one grain of sand in this expansive beach called life. That very speck of sand can be either an irritant to the eye or help initiate the process of creating a beautiful pearl. The first grain of sand will get washed out and forgotten; the second will be part of something striking and treasured. We make decisions everyday that can either cause us to become a help or hindrance to others. Choose wisely…

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–3/10/18
Thought of the Day—Any old horse can bolt out of the gate and run away from its’ master, but it takes a calm and disciplined steed to remain steadfast even in the time of conflict. So it is with the tongue; don’t just let it run away from you but use your disciplined mind to rein it in! Otherwise, you just might end up stepping in something you’d rather not…
