Who am I to think that I abide alone in the reality of my life?  My life is in God’s Hand, and is safely cared for, by His great love.
My time on earth is held together by the Word of God.
God’s Great Hand reaches deep in to the valley, of my greatest despair, gently lifting me constantly upward towards His Loving Heart.

Happiness is the entrance of joy.
Sorrow takes away the blossoms of happiness but the roots remain.
Giving into happiness is far better, than giving into self-pity.
A Smile is the prelude to public happiness.
Give until it feels good; love until it brings happiness to you or someone else.
Forgiving someone bring a smile to your heart and potential for happiness in another’s.

Part of sin is not doing right; the other part is doing wrong.
Sin poisons the lives of the ones you love, as well as, your own.
Your loved ones can forgive you; but only God can forgive your sin.
It is easier to sin than not because the world we live in is filled with sin and sinners.
It is sin that turns thrills into addictions.
No good ever comes from sin...None…Ever!

Successful is living, is the distance between two prayers…The longer the distance between prayers the less successful your life becomes.
If you can count your blessing you have no comprehension how blessed you are.
Your love for Jesus can be easily measured by how much time you spend with Him and what you do afterwards.

You can never “buy time” you can only spend it.
Attention and affection are part If love but service and commitment are its foundation.

If you forget who you are, people wonder who you were.

If you have not “delivered the truth in love” you have not delivered the whole truth.
Not all truth is easy to love…at first.
