"Even so, I have noticed one thing, at least, that is good. It is good for people to eat well, drink a good glass of wine, and enjoy their work—whatever they do under the sun—for however long God lets them live. And it is a good thing to receive wealth from God and the good health to enjoy it. To enjoy your work and accept your lot in life—that is indeed a gift from God. People who do this rarely look with sorrow on the past, for God has given them reasons for joy." ~Eccl 5:18-20 [NLT]

[M]y love for You does not come in degrees. I love You in the good days You bless me with and I love You in the bad days where you humble me...any love I feel comes from You and You love me completely in my goodness and in my wickedness without justification or quantification.

I suppose in the end, it’s not about how much I love You...but rather the fact that I am able to love because You first loved me.

These are my thoughts, my hopes; my conversations with the Lord. I try to put my prayers into a thousand words for you in the hope that when you read them, you will see a picture of who I am and in the process find yourself and what is important in this life we are all given.

Leave yesterday as it is, you did the best you could.
Live today as it unfolds to you, it's not over yet.
Plan for tomorrow to be better then today, the Lord will provide for you.

Live freely.
Breathe deeply.
Love completely.
Smile when you are sad.
Cry when you are happy.
Dance when you are tired.
And pray always.
