It can be very easy to take the good things in your life for granted. You see them every day but fail to appreciate all that they mean to you, until that dark day when they disappear. But at that point, it is too late to say, “I love you,” to soak in the beauty of a sunset or to share a hug. Don’t fall prey to a blinding speed of life. Take the time…

But they are also a part of who you are and must be carried with you forever. While memories, experiences, and lessons are filed away in your brain, regrets must be carried in your heart. And the weight of a single regret can be a heavy load to carry.
Each of us is a work in progress. But the beauty of you is that you are a work of art that continues to grow and evolve. You are not carved in stone or created with permanent paint. You are living art, that grows in depth and meaning with each new intricate detail that is created by your day’s experiences.
Nothing in this world lasts forever or can be found in endless supply. And this includes the people, causes, and things that you care about, as well as yourself.

These people who are struggling, facing an immense challenge, or even reaching the end of their life, offer us a tremendous opportunity to learn from another person’s experience. Seeing just a tiny glimpse of life through the eyes of a dying man made me stop in my tracks and take inventory of all…
You are not what others say you are.You are not what others say you can do.You are who God says you are.And you are fearfully and wonderfully made.His grace and mercy are new each and every morning.So if He can let go of what you were in the past…If He can let go of what you did…So can you.And if someone decides to not let it go, that is their problem.Don’t let it be yours.…
