Today I was reminded how something as insignificant as a coffee cup can hold more meaning than just about any other possession that I own. It’s these tiny everyday things and events that become treasured thoughts and memories which comfort us when we feel lost, alone or just like we need a reason to smile. I was born fairly late in my Dad’s life, and as such, I was in my 20’s when he got…
Peace in the world! Is that possible? Is that beyond us? Have you ever thought that you can play your part to bring peace to the world? If only each person really loves and cares for the person next to him in each present moment of life, it will bring peace to the world! If only we really had to love our neighbor as Jesus taught us, yes, it is possible to have peace in the world. You can…

As I’ve gotten older I have begun to see the value of things differently. I used to turn to physical items to remind me of the closeness that I shared with a loved one. As an example, I have an old flannel shirt of my fathers. Each time I slid it on I would close my eyes and imagine the feeling of a hug from Dad. The buttons are coming loose as the thirty some…
There is only one thing I have to do, one thing that will get me through.I’ve got to move on and put the past far behind.It’s time to stop looking back.It’s time to look forward.Forget about the former things.Let go of the past.I am going to keep pressing forward to the life God has planned for me.

There are so many intricate details and facets of life that as children, we simply don’t grasp. They’re just part of the tiny little bubble we call our world. It’s not until decades later, that a fleeting glimpse into a childhood memory reveals the deeper meaning. I’m fortunate to have clear and detailed images in my mind of childhood days long gone by. These memories trigger thoughts and “aha” moments each time one surfaces into…
Help me this day to enjoy all you have blessed me with. Help me to remember what is important. Help me to not fear but to always trust in you. In whatever happens, help me to carry on with strength that only you can give. Help me not to complain but help me understand. In Jesus name, Amen See The Good would like to thank Amy for her guest post. Amy is a Florida resident…
Someone remembers the turning point in his or her life which all started with a moment of kindness from you, a total stranger, but someone who will never be forgotten. You will never know all of the lives that you have touched and changed… but you matter to each of those people and many, many more! Every person matters and every life has a purpose. Even if you are not sure what your purpose is,…
I was recently reading an article about how we as humans seem to take all of the good things in our lives for granted, and sadly we don’t really appreciate their value until they are gone. And in many cases once lost they never return, and we live with the remorse of our lack of understanding and gratitude. That made me think of a time not quite a decade ago when I got very sick.…
Many times we hear of stories about life. We hear and read stories about the life of famous people. We know about the life of our close relatives, of our own family members. We know about the story of our own life. In any person’s life, there would be the good and happy moments or the bad and sad moments. Each of these moments would have their own particular story, a particular situation to recall…
