All the Christmas presents in the world are worth nothing without the presence of Christ.

The man who loves his wife above all else on earth gains the freedom and power to pursue other noble, but lesser, loves.

First, forgive. Second, forget by choosing not to dwell on that which is forgiven and in the past. We have no right to keep in front of us what God has put behind Him.

We are to extend forgiveness to others in the same way that God did to us: Unconditionally.

Angels are innumerable heavenly beings - immortal and invincible creations of God. He is the Lord of the hosts of heaven.

We should be holy people eager to greet our Lord when He returns, ready at any moment for the trumpet's call, people of optimism, busy in evangelism, hands to the plow, eyes on the prize.

Forgiveness prompted by love is the only way to repair the devastation that so often mars our relationships.
