Take a moment to pause, to think, to reflect and to pray. Only then will you be able to get the right perspective on the people and things in your life.

Each kind of bird has a uniquely-shaped beak, wings, and even feather shape so that everything about it is perfect for the lifestyle it lives. The various wing shapes allow them to dart after a bug, soar miles above a field, or fly for months over the ocean. Just as God cares enough to give each bird exactly what it needs, so you have been given the exact talents and personality to live the life God has given you.

God has given you so many gifts to sow love and to give hope, to shine light and to spread joy. Abundant gifts. Use them. Give to yourself and give to others. There is an endless spring where they come from.

The more you see beauty, the more beautiful you become. Let yourself be one of God's most glorious creations.

When you're having a bad day, you have a choice. You can complain and gripe and dwell on the misery, or you can let go of it and look for the good, and maybe, just maybe, even laugh about it.

We have these feelings in our body for a reason. Listen to your body.

Some people relax with TV, some people relax with a book, and some people relax with friends. But when was the last time you rested by truly doing nothing? Sometimes it's necessary to simply be still and breathe.

You know that thing you have been putting off? Now is the right time to do it. Remember ... if you act like now is all the time you have, you will always have all the time in the world.
