Time mellows people as it mellows wine, as long as the grapes are good. You may set out to be a businesswoman or businessman but in the course of time end up caring for a dying parent, orphaned niece, or disabled brother. You may encounter illness yourself and end up being a writer, touching the heartstrings, not the purse strings of other people. That's why it's best to always be true to yourself and God and to be flexible within His will. He will use you.

God will never let you sink under your circumstances. He always provides a safety net and His love always encircles.

Growing is a lifetime job, and we grow most when we're down in the valleys, where the fertilizer is.

We spend our lives dreaming of the future, not realizing that a little of it slips away every day.

The attitude of kindness is everyday stuff like a great pair of sneakers. Not frilly. Not fancy. Just plain and comfortable.

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

If we give someone a piece of bread and butter, that's kindness, but if we put jelly or peanut butter on it, then it's Loving Kindness.
