Love is the seed of all hope. It is the enticement to trust, to risk, to try, to go on.

There are times when I draw near enough to touch Him, then I know that He has been there all the time

I'm not what I want to be. I'm not what I'm going to be. But, thank God, I'm not what I was!

Choices can change our lives profoundly. The choice to mend a broken relationship, to say "yes" to a difficult assignment, to lay aside some important work to play with a child, to visit some forgotten person - these small choices may affect many lives eternally.

Line by line, moment by moment, special times are etched into our memories in the permanent ink of everlasting love in our relationships.

What will your children remember? Moments spent listening, talking, playing and sharing together may be the most important times of all.

Even in the winter, in the midst of the storm, the sun is still there. Somewhere above the clouds, it still shines and warms and pulls at the life buried deep inside the brown branches and frozen earth.
