Thanksgiving is a time of quiet reflection; an annual reminder that God has, again, been ever so faithful. The solid and simple things of life are brought into clear focus.

God never calls His people to accomplish anything without promising to supply their every need.

There is nothing more fearful for the average person in our society than to stand before a group of people and speak.

Every one of us can blame somebody for something that has happened in our lives. But don't waste your time. What we need most is a steady stream of love flowing among us. Love that quickly forgives, willingly overlooks, and refuses to take offense.

Battles are won in the trenches, in the grit and grime of courageous determination; they are won day by day in the arena of life.

God also allows suffering so that we might learn what it means to depend on Him, not on our own strength and resources.

The beautiful thing about encouragement is that anybody can do it.
