Opportunities to grow

"If you always look for people to serve, you will always feel the guidance of the Spirit in order to help them--there are five groups of people that will always need help--kids, less-actives, poor people, sick people and someone who needs a friend.  Just look for those groups and you will never run out of spiritual experiences and opportunities to grow."

 

“wake up every day and say "the Lord is going to give me direction today" and look for it--afterwards, write it down”  (Krista’s mission president)

 Making a difference, the work is important, so you can expect help in doing it.

The best ...

"Man finds it hard to get what he wants because he does not want the best;

God finds it hard to give because he would give the best and man will not take it."            - George Macdonald

Invincible Summer

In the depth of winter I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer."                                                                      -- Albert Camus

I would add that in the depth of a trial we can learn that there is an eternal spirit that lives, loves and grows.

 If I loose sight of it I take pictures or look at pictures of flowers and nature....

These pictures were taken in the Bahamas.

Come unto Me ...

"Begin at once; before you venture away from this quiet moment, ask your King to take you wholly into His service, and place all the hours of the day quite simply at His disposal, and ask Him to make and keep you ready to do just exactly what He appoints. Never mind about tomorrow; one day at a time is enough. Try it today, and see if it is not a day of strange, almost curious peace, so sweet that you will be only too thankful when tomorrow comes to ask Him to take it also."

Frances Ridley Havergal (1836-1879)

Begin

 If you have the courage to begin, you have the courage to succeed.          ~ David Viscott

Pick the path and move forward....

Wolf vs Shepherd

The closer we walk with the Shepherd, the farther we are from the wolf.

You are valuable

"You are valuable because you exist. Not because of what you do or what you have done, but simply because you are."                                                                                             - Max Lucado

Thank you for being you....
