gratitude long joy
As long as thanks is possible, then joy is always possible.
joy secret doubt
...the secret to joy is to keep seeking God where we doubt He is.
acceptance free-gifts giving
We only enter into the full life if our faith gives thanks. Because how else do we accept His free gift of salvation if not with thanksgiving? Thanksgiving is the evidence of our acceptance of whatever He gives. Thanksgiving is the manifestation of our Yes! to His grace.
children light warning
The moment when you are most repelled by a child's behavior, that is your warning light to draw the very closest to that child.
stress joy choices
Busy is a choice. Stress is a choice. Joy is a choice. Choose well.
fall dark our-world
It is in the dark that God is passing by. The bridge and our lives shake not because God has abandoned, but the exact opposite: God is passing by. God is in the tremors. Dark is the holiest ground, the glory passing by. In the blackest, God is closest, at work, forging His perfect and right will. Though it is black and we can't see and our world seems to be free-falling and we feel utterly alone, Christ is most present to us...
today tomorrow uncertain
There is unwavering peace today when an uncertain tomorrow is trusted to an unchanging God.
beautiful light giving
The brave who focus on all things good and all things beautiful and all things true, even in the small, who give thanks for it and discover joy even in the here and now, they are the change agents who bring fullest light to all the world.
long soul doe
How long does it take your soul to realize that your life is full? The slower the living, the greater the sense of fullness and satisfaction.
joy thanks habit
It's habits that can imprison you and it's habits that can free you. But when thanks to God becomes a habit - so joy in God becomes your life.
wind grace found
Like the wind, Grace finds us wherever we are and won't leave us however we were found.
If I don't have words, it's a sign I'm not reading enough.
I came into this world the way every person on the planet does - with clenched fists.
