Eternal Thanks*
“Who does not thank for little will not thank for much.â€Â Estonian Proverb It’s easy to thank God when great “life blessings” are poured down upon on us. It’s life transforming when we are able to thank God for His grace regardless of whether or not life is blessing us. It is His undeserved grace…

Happiness*
“Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude.” ~Denis Waitley As we continue on with “Gratitude Month” I was reminded of one of my favorite Denis Waitley quotes noted above. Living “right” in God’s eyes and receiving the by-product of…
Thankful*
“Most human beings have an almost infinite capacity for taking things for granted.” ~Aldous Huxley Are there things you are taking for granted? No one ever said life was going to be fair and always make sense. Be thankful. P.E.A.C.E. Jay@EagleLaunch.com 1 Corinthians 15:57, “But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through…
Pity and Turning Wrists*
“Pity is adrenalin for acts of mercy; self pity is a narcotic that leaves its addicts wasted and derelict.” ~Eugene H. Peterson Sitting on the pity pot and feeling sorry for one’s self is a place the devil loves to take us. Signs on the Restrooms that contain “Pity Pots” should not display “MEN” or “WOMEN” but “SELFISH CHILDREN.”…
