“Don’t let your life speed out of control. Live intentionally. Do something today that will last beyond your lifetime.”

We can choose to gather to our hearts the thorns of disappointment, failure, loneliness, and dismay in our present situation. Or we can gather the flowers of God’s grace, boundless love, abiding presence, and unmatched joy. I choose to gather the flowers.

Forgiveness is a stunning principle, your ticket out of hate and fear and chaos.

Your face is a billboard advertising your philosophy of life!

No one likes change… but babies in diapers.

Life can be wonderful. Do your best not to miss it!” Enjoy what it is before it isn’t anymore. Dare to slip on a pair of bunny slippers once in a while! Surprise yourself! Enjoy the little things because one day you’ll look back and realize they were the big things!

Laughter is to life what shock absorbers are to automobiles. It won’t take the potholes out of the road, but it sure makes the ride smoother

Smile…it kills time between disasters.

Have we forgotten that we’re all born the same way: naked, wet, and hungry? Then things get worse!

Faith is seeing light with your heart when all your eyes see is darkness.

Life is too short to spend it being angry, bored, or dull.

Allow your dreams a place in your prayers and plans. God-given dreams can help you move into the future He is preparing for you.

Being codependent means that when you die, someone else’s life passes before your eyes.

If you can forgive the person you were, accept the person you are, and believe in the person you will become, you are headed for joy. So celebrate your life.

How will you use the years God gives you? Will you be remembered for being a fault-finder? Or will you be known for your quick smile, the laugh lines around your eyes, and the twinkle deep within? After all, God gives you your face, but you provide the expression!

Always remember that better days are ahead – if not in this life, in the next.

Forgiveness is a stunning principle, your ticket out of hate and fear and chaos. … I know what regret feels like; I’ve earned my credentials. But I also know what forgiveness feels like, because God has so graciously forgiven me.
