Thought for Today:

“Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.”

ATMOSPHERE  OF  PEACE

What I want?
What I like?
It's to look at the menu

and order an atmosphere of peace

for every person at the table.

I want to bring peace 

into the rooms I enter -

to the tables I sit at -

into the conversations 

I find myself in.

I have some choices.

I can listen.

I can leave my ugly feelings

at the door - and walk in 

hoping for more.

I can't fill the whole valley 

or my street with peace,
but I can simply do what Christ did:
Enter rooms and be the peace we're all
looking for in each other. Amen.

WHEN  YOU  PRAY

When you pray,
when you want to pray,
go inside - open that inner door -
go inside - to your inner place -
where Jesus will meet you,
where Jesus will greet you,

where Jesus will sit with you,

where Jesus will feed you,
where Jesus will give you peace.
Keep it simple. Keep it as simple
as that. Amen. Alleluia.

“(Tool+Training+Experience) x Mindset = Goal/Success. BUT if your mindset is zero then equation is (100 + 100 +100) x 0 = Failure.”

MOMENTS  OF  GRACE

 

 

Bringing the surprise of God

into any given situation ….

 

Causing an inner “WOW!”

in another ….

 

Easing life for another

in the here and now ….

 

Helping another see

a difficulty differently ….

 

Changing the petty into pretty –

as in pretty good – pretty neat ….

 

Getting another to inwardly say,

“Okay, this is a moment of Grace!”
