The Value of Hope

791) It’s been several years since I read Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl. Frankl was a psychiatrist who was a prisoner in Nazi concentration camps during WWII. In Man’s Search for Meaning, Frankl writes of the different ways prisoners around him responded to the horrific things that happened when held captive. As he spoke

Generosity

790) My grandmother was one of the most generous people I’ve known. If she thought you needed something, if she could, she would get it. She never hesitated to give of anything she had, including love. Proverbs 11:25 tells us that giving to others brings blessings to yourself. This is a fact that my dear

Consequences

789) Do you know someone who always seems to get away with doing underhanded things? They seem to continually “get by” with things–skirt the law, but no one ever gets away with anything. There are always consequences, even if these are not realized in the moment. Because of this, perhaps we need to be more

Want a Less-complicated Life?

788) The act of lying has been watered down in recent years. A person can “fib” or tell a “white lie” but a lie is a lie. Proverbs 10:9 addresses the fact that a liar better have a good memory. It lets us know that by being truthful, your life will be less complicated. Less

A Waste of Time

787) Sometimes a person has the opportunity of helping someone by making suggestions of another way of thinking or acting and, most of the time, this is when the listener asks for your input. Unfortunately, it’s rare for another to ask this of us. There are many times, however, when giving our input, thoughts, feelings,

Words of Importance

786) One thing that drives my husband and I crazy is that our local weatherman will use the term, “as well” as many as 6 times or more in a brief weather forecast. For me, as a writer, I cringe hearing these words over and over because they mean nothing. Repeated words, however, can illustrate

A Good Neighbor Is . . .

785) One of my favorite classic TV shows is Andy Griffith. I realize that the TV world doesn’t always reflect reality, but there’s something endearing about that show. We see a town whose inhabitants work together and share of themselves. They help where needed and know when someone is sick so they can take a

The Greatest of These . . .

784) Have you noticed that the hot movies that are making the most money are often superhero themed. I’m thinking that many love the idea of having powers that extend beyond the abilities of humans. Yes, I think having many of these powers would be fun and might level the playing field of humanity. It

Natural Circumstances

783) When we hear the word consequences, it’s common to think of the negative ones, but consequences, simply put, are results from one’s actions–good or bad. Proverbs 2:7 tells us that the upright will be successful. So, using this definition, success results from being upright–doing what is right. Sometimes it may seem that doing right

I Am a Whole Lot better and Worse

782) There is a song that came out by The Choir that when I first heard it (What You Think I Am), it caught my attention. The whole song resonates around one important line within it. It is, “I’m a whole lot better and a whole lot worse than what you think I am.” Candid
