We don't always need to know where we are going as long as we know whom we are following. God is in control. Even when we wind up in strange places or unusual circumstances, the Father is not caught by surprise.Mike Clay

One day a man saw an old lady, stranded on the side of the road, but even in the dim light of day, he could see she needed help.. So he pulled up in front of her Mercedes and got out. His Pontiac was still sputtering when he approached her.. Even with the smile on his face, she was worried. No one had stopped to help for the last hour or so. Was he going to hurt her? He didn't look safe; he

When I was young and free and my imagination had no limits, I dreamed of changing the world. As I grew older and wiser, I discovered the world would not change, so I shortened my sights somewhat and decided to change only my country.But, it too, seemed immovable.As I grew into my twilight years, in one last desperate attempt, I settled for changing only my family, those closest to me, but alas,

They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service,

There are certain key things that every new believer in Christ should know. The first is that you are God's child -- God loves you! You can be sure that God loves you forever.You can also know that God loves you so much that He came searching for you, even when you are lost. The parable in the Bible of the woman with the lost coin tells us this. "Suppose a woman has ten silver coins and loses

At the end of the day, God will not ask:"How many millions were you able to give to the poor?"But, as we can find in Colossians "Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth," God will ask:"How many souls had been saved because of your help?"(my reflection today thanks to Kuya Mon)

But when we spend less, we can work less.When we work less, we can play more.When we play more, we can take time to be better human beings.We will earn money, but not at the expense of our faith, our loved ones, and ourselves.The principle: satisfaction is not getting what you want, but wanting what you already have.(Bo Sanchez)

Life/CourageIt is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly.- Theodore Roosevelt-

How to achieve your goalsA frustrated young man once consulted me about his repeated failures. “Success completely eludes me. I want to get somewhere.”“Good,” I replied, “and exactly where do you want to go?”His reply was a masterpiece of inconclusiveness: “Well, I don’t know for sure, never figured that one out.”“Look – you must fix on a goal, then sharpen and clarify it.

The essential difference between the unhappy, neurotic type person and the happy, normal person is the difference between get and give.The unhappy person is concerned with the: the world is against me, what’s in it for me, what are people doing to me and so forth.But the happy person is looking toward what he can do, what he can give, what he can accomplish.Joe D. batten and Leonard C.

The only way that we can truly build deep, sustaining confidence is to test and practice the use of the principles of tough-minded living on real problems.We can sit in a library and read every book that exists on positive thinking and this will do us very little good until we encounter problems; just as the weight lifter will develop no muscle at all by simply sitting and looking at a set of bar

1. Allow time for anger to subside. Allow quiet time - allow for silence. You cannot solve problems when you are extremely emotional.2. Refocus on what you want to see happen. Ask: What do I want the outcome of this situation to be?3. Acknowledge the situation. Keep your voice calm. Use eye contact and slow but firm gestures. Let the person know you want to talk and to also listen
