Have you ever witnessed a skilled craftsman going into an old broken down home and restoring it into something fabulous? God is the master of restoration, taking the broken and damaged and making them beautiful. Are there some things in your life that could use a little work?
Don’t ever criticize yourself. Don’t go around all day long thinking, ‘I’m unattractive, I’m slow, I’m not as smart as my brother.’ God wasn’t having a bad day when he made you… If you don’t love yourself in the right way, you can’t love your neighbor. You can’t be as good as you are supposed to be. ~Joel Osteen
Your window to the world just might be your own front door. Step out in faith!
We’re not always going to understand why something happens. True faith is trusting even when it doesn’t make sense. ~Joel Osteen

Remember how blessed you are to see another day.

Stop focusing on how stressed you are and remember how blessed you are. It could be so much worse.
The sounds of Nature can lift your spirits… Take time to revel in the joyful songs of the birds, the splash of a bubbling brook, the whisper of the wind through the trees, and the roar of the ocean’s waves. These sounds can deeply nourish your soul.
Life is very short, so forgive quickly, believe slowly, love truly, laugh loudly and always remember to thank God for it all.
Consider how very fortunate you are. Consider it every day. The more you count your blessings, the more blessings there will be to count.
