Financial peace of mind is not determined by how much we make, but is dependent upon how much we spend!
Marvin J. AshtonPeace is a blessing that comes to those who trust in God. It is established through individual righteousness. True personal peace comes about through eternal vigilance and constant righteous efforts.
Marvin J. AshtonAccording to the dictionary, knock has two definitions: "to strike something with a sharp blow," and "to find fault with, a harsh and often petty criticism." Perhaps in human relationships both of these meanings could apply. Almost all men will respond to sincere praise and rebel at harsh and cutting criticisms.
Marvin J. AshtonA friend is a possession we earn, not a gift. ....The Lord has declared that those who serve him and keep his commandments are called his servants. After they have been tested and tried and are found faithful and true in all things, they are called no longer servants, but friends. His friends are the ones he will take into his kingdom and with whom he will associate in an eternal inheritance.
Marvin J. AshtonPerhaps the greatest charity comes when we are kind to each other, when we donโt judge or categorize someone else, when we simply give each other the benefit of the doubt or remain quiet. Charity is accepting someoneโs differences, weaknesses, and shortcomings; having patience with someone who has let us down; or resisting the impulse to become offended when someone doesnโt handle something the way we might have hoped. Charity is refusing to take advantage of anotherโs weakness and being willing to forgive someone who has hurt us. Charity is expecting the best of each other
