When we know Christ, we always know how things are going to go...always for our good and always for His glory.

The prayers we weave into the matching of socks, the stirring of oatmeal, the reading of stories, they survive fire.

On the night He was betrayed Jesus broke bread and lifted it up and gave THANKS. If Jesus can give thanks in that, can we not give thanks in all?

Thanksgiving creates abundance; and the miracle of multiplying happens when I give thanks-take the just one loaf, say it is enough, and give thanks-and He miraculously makes it more than enough.

Love doesn't necessarily mean bless or agree with, it means sacrifice for and suffer with.

Darkness transfigures into light, bad transfigures into good, grief transfigures into grace, empty transfigures into full. God wastes nothing – ‘makes everything work out according to his plan.’ (Ephesians 1:11).

Hurry always empties a soul.
