“I really don’t care that you went to any trouble for me. It’s not what I wanted.”
"I am grateful and sincerely appreciate you trying to help me. I pray that I will do the right thing. Thank you."
Love is designed to be absorbed in our hearts and become the life that fills our veins. Rejoice at the sight of helping hands so that love’s sentiment will live in you and you will want to it pay forward again and again.

Above Pessimism
“I hate talking to you. All you every do is put me down.”
“I can always count on you to make me feel better.”
Offer hope instead of despair, speak of blessings rather than complaining, advocate healing instead of feeding sickness, offer help instead of throwing up your hands. You were born for greatness. Show the world you are above pessimism.
Inspired by Isaiah 61:1-3

An On Time God
“You do everything for her! I hate you!”
“If it were within my power I would help you.”
Inspired by Matthew 20:20-23
Jesus showed us that there were things He could do and things only His Father could grant. Learn to help yourself, pray for things that seem humanly unattainable, and accept with great faith what God appears to be doing or not. God is great and always on-time.

Goodness Shines
“They’ll get over it. I’m doing this anyway.”
“I keep myself in check by asking ‘if today were my last would I want to do that which keeps me from eternity?'”
Furnace of fire or shine like the sun. Well. . . when you put it like that . . . the sun? Choose to gleam like the sun! Let your goodness outshine any other “ness”.

Enjoy Today's Treasures
“I want a fancy car, a mansion on a hill, and a bank account that overflows with money!”
“You’d think I’d be depressed with the loss of my legs, but something inside me feels new and whole. All the more I treasure the love of family, friends and thing that I still have.”
The luxuries and catastrophes of life both offer great value & different emotional challenges. Joy & gratefulness are best enjoyed when we really value them. Enjoy the treasures you already have today!

Plan, Pray and Practice
“What do you want from me? I’m so tired of having to pull you along.”
“This overwhelming feeling of anxiety will pass. Give me a few minutes so that I can regroup.”
We all have patience that can lose its tolerance for others. We are humans, but can be more. Plan, pray and practice. Expect your day to be full of staying power! With an occasional time out & a conscious effort you can be more.

Honor God's Angels
Where does he get off telling us what is right or wrong. He didn’t even graduate from high school.”
“You’re a stranger but you are God sent and so wise. I can’t believe you’ve never been told these things.”
The wise and gifted are often overlooked, dismissed or putdown in their own circles. Look around you, there are holy people who stand out among the crowd. Honor God’s angels. Even better aspire 2 be one!
