Donations Please!

“The measure of a life, after all, is not its duration, but its donation."
~Corrie Boom

POINT TO PONDER:  What you get out of life is in direct proportion to what you put into life.   You do not have control over the duration of your life, but you do have control over what you donate to life.   Once a person fully understands that they are where they are at in their  life because of their own doing, they begin to harness the power to create the life they wish to attain.   The theory is pretty simplistic, yet it can be life-changing:  Donate positive, get positive; donate negative, get negative; donate much, get much; donate little, get little! 

So my question to you is:  What type of donation will you make today?

It’s your life: live it, love it, & celebrate it!

You Just Might Be The Answer

“In the end, the number of prayers we say may contribute to our happiness, but the number of prayers we answer may be of even greater importance.”
 - Dieter F. Uchtdorf

***
POINT TO PONDER:  Whose prayer will you answer?

There is no doubt that there is power in prayer.  The Good Book tells us, "And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive." (Matthew 21:22)  Often times, the Good Lord will answers our prayers through the acts of others.   Always remember, in the end, the Good Lord just might say to us, “ I did my part in answering your prayers;  now, tell me how many prayers did you help me answer?” 

Today is the day to begin going to work on answering the prayers of others.  There are people in need all around us.  People who need financial support, emotional support, physical support, and social support.  They may even need something as small as a friendly smile.  Now is the time to take off our proverbial “blinders” and begin looking to those in need.  

Today is the day to be the answer to someone’s prayer.  Can I get a big AMEN?

Burn Baby Burn!


Whenever you see darkness, there is extraordinary opportunity for the light to burn brighter."
- Bono

***
POINT TO PONDER:  Look about you and determine where your light should burn a little brighter.   

When one candle lights another, instantaneously the light becomes brighter.  Two lit candles produce more light and more energy than one.  Today, look for someone in need and light their candle with your light.  Remember a candle does not lose its light by lighting another candle.

Keep your light burning brightly!
It's your life: live it, love it, & celebrate it!
