You've got to use the life you've been given to give others life

Thanksgiving-giving thanks in everything-prepares the way that God might show us His fullest salvation in Christ.

Every moment I live, I live bowed to something. And if I don't see God, I'll bow down before something else.

Every time I surrender to stress, aren’t I advertising the unreliability of God?

The whole of the life -- even the hard -- is made up of the minute parts, and if I miss the infinitesimals, I miss the whole. These are new language lessons, and I live them out. There is a way to live the big of giving thanks in all things. It is this: to give thanks in this one small thing. The moments will add up.

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.

We all get to choose where we set up the stage of our lives - before the Crowds, the Court, the Congregation, the Critics (inner or otherwise)-- or the Cross of Christ. All except One will assess your performance. Only One will accept you before your performance ... Only in Jesus is there 100% acceptance before even 1% performance.
