Life Book 2012 39 common sense tips to make Life more fulfilling and stress-free. |
Put the Glass Down and See the Difference The problems and worries in life are like that glass of water. Think about them for a while and nothing happens. But think about it a bit longer and they begin to hurt. And if you think about them all day long, you will feel paralyzed – incapable of doing anything. |
Pay It
Forward As I walked to my car just amazed at God's love that had just been shown. I cried when I told my husband because I just felt right there, right then, in a world where there is so much going bad, I witnessed God's love. |
The
value of friendship: Priceless Never underestimate the power of your actions. With one small gesture you can change a person’s life. God puts us all in each other’s lives to impact one another in some way. Look for God in others. |
The Second
Chance Wont Come... Life might not give you a second chance. So never waste a moment when you can make up for your deeds. |
The
Daffodil Principle The principle her daffodil garden taught is one of the greatest principle of celebration: learning to move toward our goals and desires one step at a time - often just one baby-step at a time - learning to love the doing, learning to use the accumulation of time. |
Don't Let Life Get in The Way of Your Life We all have our forts destroyed at some time in our lives. Many of those forts aren't all that big or strong. Some, like mine, don't fall so easily. But, when they do, we need a plan to rebuild. |
Have
Faith and Move Forward They tell me all the time "sometimes when things pass you by, it's because there is something better waiting for you in the wings, You need to have faith and move forward", so that's what I did. I had faith and I moved forward. |
Glass of Milk The good deed you do today may benefit you or someone you love at the least expected time. If you never see the deed again, at least you will have made the world a better place - And, after all, isn't that what life is all about? |

Screw Ups The heroes of the Bible were screw ups too. Imagine if you will a television announcer making the introductions of the great Bible heroes. |

Around, Comes Around This is a true story that had happened in 1892 at Stanford University. Its moral is still relevant today. |
Pencil and
Eraser I found this conversation between the pencil and the eraser very inspirational. |
God's Love We are living in a time where the love of many are going cold. Due to lack of love many problems are happening in family, in society and even in churches. It may be easy to love our own family or our own church members. But to love others it may be difficult. |
White
Envelopes It's just a small, white envelope stuck among the branches of our Christmas tree. No name, no identification, no inscription. It has peeked through the branches of our tree for the past 10 years or so. |
It Must Be
Raining The news reporter was telling the story of one of many food banks in our area that were serving those in need of the basics for the holidays. Throughout the holidays we see such reports over and over, unlike the other 11 months when the same people are hungry, in need of clothing, basic services and a little help with life. |
Why
walk when you can fly? Soar Beyond Your Fears |
Ten Points of
Prayer (by Parumala Thirumeni) Prayer helps education to enhance truth, virtuous life, faith, reverence and mutual respect. |
Prayer and
God's Help Prayer gives expression to our striving towards communion with God. This communion is the natural manifestation of our love for God and of God's love for us. |
God's love is always available Fear arises from the absence of God's love in a person's life. Of course, God's love is always available to anyone who wishes to receive it. But many times, we ignore the hand that God lovingly holds out to comfort, encourage and guide us into his family circle. |
Important
Tips for Life Be yourself. Because whatever you are, YOU are the best. |
The Sacrifice
of...Fools! 1 Samuel 15:22 tells us that, "to obey is better than sacrifice." God Himself reiterates this concept in Hosea 6:6 by saying, "I delight in loyalty rather than sacrifice." |
Sleeping While the
Wind Blows When you're prepared -- spiritually, mentally, and physically -- you have nothing to fear. Can you sleep when the wind blows through your life? |

Identify The
True Spirituality Jesus and his disciples, during their life time, healed many sick people. But they never had the attitude put out by today’s so called ministry healers. |

Father Lord's prayer begins with 'Our Father.' We must consider two things here: 1) in what sense God is our Father, and 2) what we owe Him because He is our Father. |
Sanctifying Ourselves We are the body of Christ. Let us sanctify ourselves. |

Ten Point Program - Translating Orthodox Christian Ideals Into Daily
Life By living the Orthodox Life you put Christ's commandments and way of life deep into... |
A Power That
Changes Lives The world now thirsts to see living faith in the person of Jesus Christ; not simply to hear about it, but to live it. So many books tell about Christ; so many preachers speak about Christ; but so few people live and speak WITH Christ. |
Faith - an Illustration What is faith and how is it different from science? |
Idols I wonder if there are idols in life that are not so obvious? If a person gives all of their attention to something, works at improving their connection to it and trusts that something to make their life worthwhile; is that an act of worship? |
Having a Bad Day I really hate that and when I see the ugliness in me, I want to cry because I couldn't or didn't stop it. |

Can You Run and
Hide from God? Lessons from Jonah and Ninevah. |
Some Thoughts on the Book of Revelation |
Faith is
'Taking God at His Word' 'Taking God at His word' is alien to the current Secular Humanistic way of thinking that doubts even the 'Virgin Birth' and the 'Resurrection'. Secular Humanism is part and parcel of God's plan for the 'end times'. |
