Category: Blessed Beyond Measure?

Just Yesterday

Thankful For Everything
Thankful For Everything

Do you reflect back on the last 24 hours and sort through the events that happened in your life?

You know, to evaluate what was great, good and just okay?

What if you did?

Or, if you are doing this, why do you do it and what keeps you doing it?

Each day is an opportunity to do great things – great things for ourselves, our friends, our families, and especially all those people less fortunate.

Just yesterday, I was blessed beyond measure. Thank you God for your Grace, your mercy and your never-ending love.

There’s No Way

As an adult, have you given any consideration to the things you want young people to remember? What if you did simple and easy habits or rituals that would leave an indelible impression on children?

Habits that help teach and shape their young lives and become memories they never forget.

Why? Because this is how we turn the world around.

How? Keep it simple, but profound.

And because your habits and rituals are ridiculously simple to do, and so easy to do, that the only excuse for not doing them is not caring. And how could you not care?

Please consider passing on this concept of care to the next generation. It may be the only hope our planet has.

And it starts with you.

God Keeps Encouraging Me

It seems the harder I work and the more my perfectly-imperfect actions align with my noble and lofty thoughts, the more God keeps encouraging the effort.

This is a blessing and a motivation that was not predictable.

Life isn’t without setbacks, nor is it without enormous stress and pressure. You know exactly what I’m talking about.

Laying it out there, for the whole world to see, is a bold move that God recognizes.

It could all come crumbling down in an instant.

Fall down seven times, get up eight.

Same for you.

Why Be Thankful?

Seriously?

Why be thankful?

Why not?

Why not be thankful? I mean, for everything.

Today, Good Friday, of all days, we have a great opportunity to be thankful.

In fact, maybe we could even try to look at everyday as Good Friday.

Perhaps these three men already do:
