It's amazing to me the number of people who will volunteer to help at church but won't lift a finger to help at home!

You cannot have a positive life and a negative mind.

Every day is a gift from God. Learn to focus on the Giver and enjoy the gift!

Being negative only makes a difficult journey more difficult. You may be given a cactus, but you don't have to sit on it.

Do what gives you joy and you will enjoy what you do.
