We are all writers in one sense or another, as we are each writing our own story. And the inspiration for our story comes from many different sources, including one which is often thought to only be a part of the world inhabited by the most gifted of the literary world. But the truth is that we all have our own muses, those who become a source of inspiration and a driving force in our…
When you are troubled by a decision that you must make, remember that no one can see the future. The only information that you can use to make your choice is what you have learned in the past. Challenges, triumphs, and missed opportunities have all happened for a reason. And that reason is to prepare you for the today and all of the days to come. Trust the lessons from your journey and make your…
As I get older I realize that I am not in control. At all. I don’t have a say in how things go in my life. I can beg and beg but it won’t do one bit of difference. You see… God is in control. God is in charge. Whatever is going to happen is His decision… not mine. All the crying, all the complaints won’t do any good. But don’t worry He has your…
The thought for today is thanks to the amazing Amy Temple who is the writer of every Sunday Post on See The Good, a great lady and someone I have nothing but respect for. Thank you, Amy, for bringing up a good point in one of your recent articles… Most of us are willing to offer help to someone we see and believe needs our help, and that is just the right thing to do.…
We all understand that the foods we eat are used as fuel to maintain our body. And because there are so many different needs, such as protein for muscles and calcium for bones, we need to eat a well-balanced diet. But many of us forget that it is not just the foods that we eat which need to remain well balanced. Our entire life is made of various and assorted parts, which each need to…
We often hear people say that there is more to life than money or amassing things, but very few of those people continue the thought and tell you what they hold most dear. And in the abstract, it is easy to nod your head in agreement. But that is not enough to get people to really think about and consider what they need to change in their lives to amass what they hold more valuable…
Your dreams can be as large as an ocean liner or as small as a single person rowboat, but the choice is yours and the importance is equal. Hopes and dreams are what fuels that fire deep in your heart to keep striving and working to push forward. And even when your dream is just a tiny flicker in the flame that is you, it is there, and it holds meaning. It tethers your everyday…
Love lives in every heart, but only when it is shared do you reap its full benefit. Perfume in a bottle might be pretty, but it was created to fill the air with a sweet aroma. Fine wine is meant to be savored and enjoyed but first, it must be poured from the bottle. Music is simply ink marks on a page until someone shares the song with a voice or an instrument. All of…
A couple of days ago I was in a chapel, praying, meditating and experiencing the Love of God in a personal way. It was a moment of peace, of knowing that God treasures me immensely. I was reflecting about life, of how wonderful it is, even when we face difficult moments in our life. In those precise difficult moments of life, God intervenes through His grace, to present us with His peace, His love, His…
I just wanted to extend my thanks to all of you who sent me birthday wishes. I had a great day spending it with my family. We all stuffed ourselves silly! As I turn another year older, I find myself looking back at my life. Any of you who have been following me know that I have dealt with some tough situations over the years. I admit I did waste a lot of time wondering…
