Sometimes life doesn’t go according to my plans. Sometimes it’s something small, like a flat tire. Sometimes it’s something big, like losing a job or a loved one. In any case, it’s not what happens that matters as much as how I respond to it. Everything happens for a reason. Every adversity comes bearing a…

This life doesn’t last forever, so I had better enjoy what’s left of it. The value of my life can’t be measured in material things because I can’t take any of it with me. The value of my life must be measured in what I leave behind. The only treasure I can leave behind is…

Every relationship comes with responsibilities, expectations, and rewards. The same things go with my relationship with God. It’s personal – just me and God.

Over the course of my life I have encountered difficulties that seemed impossible to bear. Sometimes they appear to happen all at once. There were times when I doubted my ability to persevere and wondered what my life would look like as time went on. My doubts only make things worse. I realize now that…

If I spend my time trying to please the rest of the world, it is time wasted. The best days of my life thus far may have passed, but I will try to make the most of the days that remain. Today is the most precious day of my life. I shouldn’t waste it on…
