Thursday Thought – Seasons of Life

Ecclesiastes 3:1 – “For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.” Usually when this verse comes to mind, it’s connected to something hard or difficult – a death, someone undergoing chemo, or in a season of waiting. As a teenager, my mom would tell me “Kate, just enjoy right now.” I wasn’t angsty but could always identify something that I was waiting on or wanted to by-pass quickly.

Thursday Thought - Rejoicing when you die

I recently read a book that referenced an old saying from an American Indian tribe, "When you were born you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life in such a way that when you die the world cries and you rejoice." What a great life philosophy!

Thursday Thought - What's a Person Worth?

There’s something of an obsession in our society about a person’s worth. What’s Bill Gates’ worth as opposed to Warren Buffet’s? or Mark Zuckerberg’s? Millionaires, billionaires, and zillionaires - it’s all so far beyond what we normal people experience that we really can’t even image it.

Thursday Thought - No Expiration Dates

I listened to a podcast last week by Christine Caine about how God’s promises don’t have an expiration date. She gave a real-life example about how if your passport expires, then you don’t get to board a plane and get to your destination; you’re left out/behind.

Thursday Thoughts - Don't Be Discouraged

Are you celebrating Day 4 of Healthy Spiritual Habits? Don't be discouraged if you're not. Every day is a new day of opportunities to start fresh. God's mercies are new every morning, one of my favorite reminders to give others and myself the same grace He's given to me. (Lamentations 3:22-23)
