Whatever we have of the world in our hands, our care must be to keep it out of our hearts, lest it come between us and Christ – Matthew Henry Sure… make the money, drive the benz, wear the Gucci. Just don’t let those labels become YOUR label. YOU are amazingly created by God. Allow […]
Learn to see yourself as a gift. No matter what stage of life you’re in, you always have something to give that will make someone’s day better: a smile, a compliment, a hug, help, a listening ear, or space to merge into traffic. It’s doesn’t have to be much to make a difference. Practice being […]

If I had eight hours to chop down a tree, I’d spend at least two hours sharpening my ax. YOU are your ax! After a while you will wear out if you don’t take care of yourself. YES, everybody needs something and yes, YOU have to do it … but who will do it if […]
