Do you worry? Are you concerned about your future to the point where it steals your joy? Jesus said in Matthew 6:25, “Take no thought for your life.”
That seems simple enough, but for some reason we don’t get it. We think we have to run our own lives and make things happen. If something isn’t going right we think we have to fix it. There’s nothing more frustrating than trying to make something happen that is never meant to happen.

Sometimes when I’m weary
And feel I can’t go on,
I sneak off to my “special place ”
In the light of early dawn.

If you put a small value on yourself,
rest assured the world will not raise your price
Far too many people are LOOKING for the right person,
instead of trying to BE the right person.

Our Birth is our Opening Balance
Our Death is our Closing Balance
Our Prejudiced Views are our Liabilities

The most destructive habit………………….Worry
The greatest Joy………………………….Giving

I woke up early today, excited over all I get to do before the clock strikes midnight. I have responsibilities to fulfill today. I am important. My job is to choose what kind of day I am going to have.

Life’s hard to live and still people make it harder to live. Just living for right takes so much, that I wonder how people have time to do wrong, foolish things, to make life more complicated.

You are strong…
when you take your grief and teach it to smile.
You are brave…
when you overcome your fear and help others to do the same.
