An anniversary says, "Think of the dreams you have weathered together. They are intimate accomplishments."

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

People who soar are those who refuse to sit back, sigh and wish things would change. They neither complain of their lot nor passively dream of some distant ship coming in. Rather, they visualize in their minds that they are not quitters; they will not allow life's circumstances to push them down and hold them under.

I cannot even imagine where I would be today were it not for that handful of friends who have given me a heart full of joy. Let's face it, friends make life a lot more fun.

We are often so caught up in our activities that we tend to worship our work, work at our play, and play at our worship.

There is an enormous difference between growing old in the Lord and growing up in Him. One is automatic and requires no effort at all ... just aging. But the other is never automatic, or easy. It calls for personal discipline, continual determination, and spiritual desire. Churches are full of sleepy saints who are merely 'logging time' in God's family.

If I had my life to live over, I'd have spent more hours in worship.
