Don't be aggressive with your friends and family.

Even if you are right, there is nothing to be gained from letting yourself become adversarial with your loved ones. Remember how much more important these people are to you than is the issue you are talking about. More

Consumed by my loss, I didn't notice the hardness of the pew where I sat.  I was at the funeral of my dearest friend - my mother.  She finally had lost her long battle with cancer. The hurt was so intense; I found it hard to breathe at times. Always supportive, Mother clapped loudest at my school plays, held a box of tissues while listening to my first heartbreak, comforted me at my father's death, encouraged me in college, and prayed for me my entire life.  When mother's illness was diagnosed, my sister had a new baby and my brother had recently married his childhood sweetheart, so it fell on me, the 27-year-old middle female child without entanglements, to take care of her.  I counted it an honor.  'What now, Lord?' I asked sitting in church.  My life stretched out before me as an empty abyss.  My brother sat stoically with his face toward the cross while clutching his wife's hand.   My sister sat slumped against her husband's shoulder, his arms around her as she cradled their child.  All so deeply grieving, no one noticed I sat alone.  My place had been with our mother, preparing her meals, helping her walk, taking her to the doctor, seeing to her medication, reading the Bible together.  Now she was with the Lord. My work was finished, and I was alone.  I heard a door open and slam shut at the back of the church.  Quick footsteps hurried along the carpeted floor. More

  Tips to Beat Vacation Stress

Some people dream of spending their summer vacations in sparkling water during the day and taking languorous walks on the beach in the evening.

Why Women Cry? 

A little boy asked his mother, "Why are you crying?" "Because I'm a woman," she told him.

"I don't understand," he said. His Mom just hugged him and said, "And you never will."

"All women cry for no reason," was all his dad could say.

The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry.

Finally he put in a call to God. When God got on the phone, he asked, "God, why do women cry so easily?" More

                   A Child's Perspective

Sometimes we hear a child speak and we might think 'how sweet, how innocent'. But have you also at any point thought 'how intuitive' or 'such maturity' for one so small? 

A young child's mind is open, inquisitive and often intuitive if we take the time to notice. They haven't yet been molded, believing and fashioned into thinking as we older people do ........ but give them time and they mostly will. Oh of course they will navigate through the teenage rebellious stage. Often just bowing to peer pressure. 

I'd like to share with you a story of a small but very wise young boy. It will touch your heart ...........
