Small Things

1202) Sometimes we don’t put enough emphasis on the small things people do. When a stranger holds the door for you. When your mom remembers you love cotton candy. When your friend picks a wildflower for you. These things don’t really cost the giver much, but they can make your day a good one. Jesus

Choosing Love

1201) I read a book recently where the main character said love always wins over hate. As I read these words, I knew I agreed, but I wanted to step back and think through why. Here are some things I considered: As people who live in a fallen world, our default button is always the

The Greatest

1200)  There are different sources of power in life. The obvious one is a leader of a nation. This person has the power to make decisions, small and large, that will affect many. This is a power I’m not sure I would want. There is the power a boss has. This person must make multiple

Heavy Lumber

1199)  The word, judging, has taken on a very different meaning these days versus what it meant in Jesus’ day. When someone says, “don’t judge” today, what they are usually referring to is don’t be critical of someone’s actions or state they are wrong. This definition and those similar to this are not what Jesus

Worrying

1198) I find watching people and thinking about what I see them do is very interesting. I draw many conclusions about them and, whether it’s correct or not, I believe what I think.

Now vs Later

1196) I read about a study once that was conducted on young children. They were seated at a table and given a marshmallow. They were told that the adult needed to leave the room for a bit and if the child did not eat the marshmallow while the adult was gone, they would get another

Role Models

1195)  At the school I teach, we have a role model award at the end of each year for the students who stand out positively for what they say and do. I remember one year; I was sitting by a student whose behavior was over-the-top difficult to deal with. He leaned over to me and

Murderer

I love to read the local newspapers; I have for years. I like to know what’s going on in the area in which I live and be up-to-date on what our local officials are doing. However, the reading of my newspapers (and even my newsfeeds online) can be disheartening. It seems there are so many

Lost Appetites

1193) Once upon a time, I got food poisoning and had to go to the hospital for it. I believe it came from some chicken I had eaten. By the time I arrived at the emergency room, I had lost a lot of fluids. I stayed there for many hours and from that point on;
