To live with gratitude ever in our hearts is to touch heaven.

Each heartfelt prayer, each Church meeting attended, each worthy friend, each righteous decision, each act of service perfomed all precede that goal of eternal life.

If we are to have the very best Christmas ever, we must listen for the sound of sandaled feet. We must reach out for the Carpenter's hand. With every step we take in his footsteps, we abandon a doubt and gain a truth.

Courage, not compromise, brings the smile of God's approval.

Let us be kind to one another, to be aware of each other’s needs, and try to help in that regard.

Men and women of integrity, character, and purpose have ever recognized a power higher than themselves and have sought through prayer to be guided by that power. Such has it ever been. So shall it ever be.

The work is demanding, the impact everlasting. This is no time for 'summer soldiers' in the army of the Lord.
