Timing is everything. When you need to have a difficult conversation with someone, choosing the right time makes all the difference.
God’s timing is perfect. That said, I don’t always like His timing in the moment, but it turns out the best when I accept it. He really does know best.
If you are in a challenging period of your life, take a minute to thank God for the lessons you are learning. He never punishes us, only disciplines. Discipline means teaching, even when we don’t like it…
Everywhere you look it seems the world has gone mad. The craziest among us get the attention, and how dare we stand up for what’s right because we are marginalizing the minority.
Yet I believe in the goodness of mankind. There is good everywhere, too. You just have to look for it. And if you can’t find it? Be good…
Today is National Teacher Day in the United States. So first off, thank you to all of the dedicated, devoted teachers worldwide.
The best teaching moments are in the home. We, as parents, should model behavior for our children. Characteristics like kindness, forgiveness, compassion and honesty are best taught by example, not by forced behavior.
Our children are watching us all the time. Let’s make sure our words and actions align…
We live in an imperfect world, where failures, frustrations and setbacks come our way. It seems like every time we get our lives together we only get knocked down again.
That’s okay. No matter what you see on social media, everyone has struggles. The most perfect-looking people are dealing with stuff we don’t know about. It’s important to remember, we are in this beautiful life together. Encourage others. Strengthen them. And when you find yourself in a battle, keep going, no matter what…
The division in our country is destroying us from within. Was Khrushchev telling the truth when he said, “we will bury you and we won’t have to fire a shot?”
We aren’t opponents. We are citizens who, hopefully, stand up for what is right and true. Just because someone disagrees with your politics doesn’t make them a bad person.
Stand up and speak out for goodness. Otherwise, we will prove the communist to be correct…
There is goodness all around us. Sometimes it seems hard to find because the crazies get a lot of attention, but goodness is everywhere.
If you aren’t witnessing good, then I encourage you to take it upon yourself to do good. Do something for someone who can never repay you. Be good…
Actively practicing gratitude is the key to remembering all the goodness in our lives, the goodness money can’t buy…
The culture of the United States seems to be greed. Do more work so you can be more. And get more.
There’s nothing wrong with acquiring assets. The more you have, the more you are able to help others. If you are willing…
The other side of that coin is contentment. Contentment doesn’t mean you are devoid of ambition. Contentment comes from living in a constant state of gratitude. Be grateful for everything good in your life, and watch your mindset change…
Every person matters. We can be impressed by the number of degrees people have, their titles, accomplishments or possessions, but that’s not who they are. We are all equally important in the eyes of God. His opinion is the only one that matters.
Treat others with kindness. Show compassion. We are in this battle called life together…
Millions of books have been written about positive thinking. Millions more will be written. And we know too well that popular saying, “Let go. Let God.” That sounds great until you have to actually do it.
Ceding our desire to control is scary. We want our lives to have happy endings, so we try to control outcomes. Controlling things we have no control over doesn’t work.
Our Creator gives us control over one thing: our attitude. Keep yours focused on whatever is good, right and noble. That’s better than any self-help book…
