“Find joy in the ordinary.”

With God, every day matters, every person counts. And that includes you.

The next time you’re disappointed, don’t panic. Don’t give up. Just be patient and let God remind you He’s still in control.

Prayer lets God do what he does best. Take a pebble & kill a Goliath. Take the common, make it spectacular! Pray & see what He can do.

If your God is mighty enough to ignite the sun, could it be that He is mighty enough to light your path?

Fear creates a form of spiritual amnesia.

Next time a sunrise steals your breath or a meadow of flowers leave you speechless, remain that way. Say nothing, and listen as Heaven whispers, “Do you like it? I did it just for you.”

People are watching the way we act, more than they are listening to what we say.

Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. To these I commit my day.

When grace moves in guilt moves out.

My religious superstition gave place to rational ideas based on scientific facts, and in proportion as I looked at everything from a new standpoint, I grew more happy day by day.

The happiest people are the ones who don’t try to define happiness.

Doing good to others is not a duty. It is a joy, for it increases your own health and happiness.

We have everything we need to be happy, but we aren’t happy. Something’s missing.

Joy attracts more joy. Happiness attracts more happiness. Peace attracts more peace. GRATITUDE attracts more GRATITUDE. Kindness attracts more kindness. Love attracts more love. Your job is an inside one. To change your world, all you have to do is change the way you feel inside. How easy is that?

Happiness finds you when your means to control is out of the spotlight.
