In this life
Be kinder than necessary,
for everyone you meet is
fighting some kind of battle.

Live simply,
Love generously,
Care deeply,
Speak kindly.......

Leave the rest to God.

Yesterday was spent battling a horrid migraine that switched off and on all day , and today was a blur filled from sunup to sundown with a whole lot of "have to's" including the dentist who must have thought i weighed too much and he helped "lighten" my load by unloading my wallet with some serious punchlines that hit hard things like cavities braces and crowns....oh well its only money right? They print more every day.
There is nothing that compares with the bright shiny smile of a child, well worth whatever cost that comes too....remind me of that when im working at burger king to pay for the shiny :)

How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives...... what people never understand is that submission to God has nothing to do with weakness but it has everything to do with purpose.
The purpose of life is of course a life of purpose.
This past 6 months my personal focus has been to praise God in everything i do, good and bad and that has been very challenging. I think its the ultimate test in our Love of the Lord , in good times and bad, to give the same amount of praise to do this freely like second nature . It has been an interesting experiment and one that i plan to continue. I wake up alot of days and say Hi Lord what can i do for YOU today? And he has never failed to send me on a mission.
Tonight my mission is to say this S.O.T.D.
James 2:14-17 — “What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to him, ‘Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed,’ but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
