4/30/17 Happiness may depend on what happens to us, but God's joy keeps the music playing after the band stops performing. Rejoicing will always overcome the circumstances.
4/29/17 Wisdom comes with age, but also from experience gained through failure. Growing in wisdom can be painful, but in time, we move forward. God's plan is to prosper and not harm, but to give us hope and a future.
4/28/17 We can neither change the past or relive our lives. Do not dwell but learn. Failure is part of every journey. Thank God for this gift of breath just for today.
4/27/17 God has placed the seed of a champion inside each of us. We may be down but never forgotten by our Creator. It is only a matter of time before we defeat any force that comes against us.
4/26/17 The principle of doing first things first is simple in theory but complicated in practice. Each day has its fill of urgent matters, but making time with God today makes us more efficient later. Do nothing and rest.
4/25/17 Wisdom is not like a mushroom, sprouting up overnight. It is acquired by experience. Wisdom comes from seeking and living the lessons learned over time. The oak tree was once a tiny acorn.
4/24/17 A demanding daily life can cause a loss of perspective and balance. God gives us guidance, wisdom, and perspective. A wise person will continue learning and a discerning person will seek guidance.
4/23/17 Our thoughts have the power to shape our lives for the better or worse. Our state of mind can strengthen our relationship with or distance us from God. Dwell on those things that are honorable and worthy of praise.
4/22/17 Our soul is nourished by our thoughts. If our mind is focused on honesty and love, then our life will reflect these seeds we feed our minds.
4/21/17 When faced with a difficult choice, pray about it. Needless suffering comes when we try to please others, neglecting God. Take God along as a traveling companion and never feel alone again.

Author - Linda BeckwithI believe everyday is a gift from our Creator. As we age, some may fear the unknown~death. People who become aware of their mortality find they have actually gained freedom to live. They have found they have an appreciation for the present. We are all here to contribute love, forgiveness, and service. As I age, I want to nourish my soul's purpose. If we are open to grace, people will appear in our lives to encourage growth of our souls. Allow me to provide daily nourishment through loving words, because joy is our birthright. I call these my daily "Truth Vitamins" for spiritual health. Join me in discovering together our inner soul purpose with "Love~that's all there is". Archives
