5/31/16 Positive emotions make life worth living. Gratitude is the gateway to serenity. Happiness is the essential spirit we feel when striving towards our potential. It is more than a good feeling as it is the indispensable ingredient in our recipe for success.
5/30/16 A hero gives of themselves selflessly in the service of others. Freedom of speech and action are meaningless unless there is freedom of practice. We thank all who gave and continue to give for the liberty of our country.
5/29/16 Abstract truth has to be translated into concrete terms if it is going to penetrate the human mind. God brings the abstract into simple terms. His truth never changes but it changes people. Rejoice in all circumstances to find strength in weakness.
5/28/16 Awareness is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom. Wisdom is applied knowledge. It is not so much what we know but how we act. A pure eye allows sunshine into the soul. Live with the expectancy of the future in kind thoughts and gracious behavior.
5/27/16 Our brains are hardwired to perform at their best when we think positively about the task. We become successful when we are primed with optimism. Unfortunately, stress causes us to feel pressured instead of positive. Reduce stress by counting blessings and banking on God's love.
5/26/16 How we succeed in the world changes constantly based on how we think. It is possible to simply adjust our mindset in a way that gives us the energizing power to be more fulfilled, optimistic, and successful. Negativity is a sure setup to failure. God wants us to thrive.
5/25/16 Plug into God's blessings. God supplies the power, we have to flip the switch. If we concentrate on blessing others, we are blessed in return. We cannot out-give or out-thank God. Activate the power by plugging into the socket of faith.
5/24/16 We are all on a journey in this life. God is universal and loves everyone. We don't need to see eye to eye to love each other. Live according to the Golden Rule. It is not about the practice but about the condition of our heart.
5/23/16 The seeds of love never die. Sowing love is part of God's grace. Where we are now is not where we are going to be tomorrow. Seeds soften and sprout when they are ready. Plant unconditional loving seeds that guarantee a harvest of peace. Pull out weeds of anger, hatred, or fear.
5/22/16 We cannot love someone while we are judging them. We are being changed through our challenges. Pain refines us and eventually leads down a path to peace. Don't focus on what separates us from each other. God's mercy is deeper than the ocean's floor.

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
