One of the things I discover a lot in marriage counseling is the husband or wife trying to get their spiritual thirst quenched by their partner; I think that's a real common mistake that we make.

Be kind to yourself. God thinks you're worth his kindness. And he's a good judge of character.

We’re grateful when all is well, but can we say the same on disastrous days?

Gods given us all strengths and gifts.

Gratitude. More aware of what you have than what you don't. Recognizing the treasure in the simple - a child's hug, fertile soil, a golden sunset. Relishing in the comfort of the common.

A split second is nothing compared to twenty-four hours. On God's clock you're in the middle of your millisecond. Compared to eternity, what is seventy, eighty, ninety years?

I think you have to be very careful about any story that puffs you up.
