Faith…
I believe that Faith is one of the most important ingredients in life. I have also found that it must be earned. Some believe that God hands out Faith like a gift to those he loves more. However, having seen God, I know He does not play favorites and that He is a perfect and perfectly just God. I know that faith is a gift that we must fight for everyday through our choices. My experience is that the better my choices – the more in line my choices are with truth and my knowledge of God, the stronger my faith becomes. Faith is a vibrant force of energy that leaves its positive mark on this world by all who embrace it. Fill the world with mortals who live by faith and you have a world that mirrors heaven.

Parenthood….
I love today’s quote. My most difficult job ever has been the job of being a mother. At the same time, no job I have ever had has provided me with as much joy. My children are grown now – so the really frustrating “Mother Days” are mostly gone and more often than not I get to have the pleasure of enjoying the fruits of my labors. I love my kids and I love getting to be a part of their lives! The extra special bonus of getting to be their mother is the priceless pleasure of getting to be the grandmother of their children! For me, nothing could be more important than sharing life and eternity with my family!

When Life Gets Too Hard to Stand…Kneal
I know of nothing that has enriched my personal relationship with my Creator like prayer. I think that my near death experience enhanced my understanding of prayer. I believe that this is because I now understand God’s character in a way that evaded me prior to that experience. I realize now that I truly am having a personal conversation. With that realization has come an understanding of my need to make listening a very real part of my prayers. Listening is a crucial ingredient in any healthy relationship and I have found it to be an incredible strength building component in my relationship with God. It is always my prayer that others may come to know and feel the Love of our Creator as I have – I hope and pray that you receive that blessing in your life!

What We Love…is What We Become
Thoughts….we have them all the time all day long. What we think about is what we give value to. Those thoughts are powerful – even when they are random. They determine who we are and who we become. No one controls our thoughts but us. We hold the power to our thoughts and, as such, we hold the power over who we are and who we are choosing to become. Outside influences can have no control except what we allow them. The power is ours! With our choosing and God’s divine assistance, there is no holding you back from becoming the Amazing You that you were created to be!

Does Life Seem like an Uphill Battle?
If life always seems like an uphill battle, then you have a lot to be grateful for! Surprised? The truth is that this life never was meant to be easy – that’s not how growth works! We all innately value growth. That’s our inner spirit manifesting itself. We are prevented from remembering that sphere that we came from prior to birth but we still are blessed to sense the purpose that we, each, have been sent here for. When we listen to that inner voice and act upon what it is telling us – it will be difficult and challenging but it will also bring the life and joy that we were created for!

A Wrinkled Face
So many of the world’s “Senior Life Executives” have so much to share. They can teach us so much and enrich our lives with their wisdom and experiences! I love being able to spend time talking with and visiting with my family and friends who have such a wealth of information to share. I hope you will take advantage of those opportunities that are available to you!

Little Princesses
Children are mortals with sparkles of heaven still emanating from their little beings. Watch them and you will see the sparkles light up their countenances! There is much to learn from children – if you are willing to listen with your heart. Little girls carry with them a royal birth right (even when they become big girls). They deserve the very best of our love, kindness and tenderness.

One is All it Takes!
It’s been said before…we each must be the change we seek in the world. I believe the world would be an amazing place if each inhabitant realized their worth, potential and influence. If we would improve the world – we must be that improvement! We each make a difference and we each matter!
