Thought of the Day—God doesn’t want us to go through life like a simple pane of glass; thin, fragile and easily broken. Rather, God wants to transform us into strong, transparent, sparkling diamonds. But we must first submit to His authority and allow God to work in our daily lives; to discipline and teach us His ways.

Thought of the Day—Believe it or not, the only constant in life is change and that is a very good thing.

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–3/17/18
Thought of the Day—I may not have the “Luck O’ the Irish” coursing through my veins, but I have been empowered by the grace of God in my life. And I may not have a pot o’ gold at my disposal, but I feel truly rich every time I hear the innocent laughter of my little granddaughter. Besides, who wants those creepy little leprechauns running around anyway…
