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.
