Good Intentions

797) Sometimes I have said or done something, intending to help another, only to have it backfire in my face. When this happens, I have gone home feeling defeated, beating myself up for what I thought was a good idea. Proverbs 16:2 tells us that God weighs our motives. It’s easy to think that this

Handling Conflict

795) I do not handle confrontation and conflicts well with others. In fact, I would do just about anything to avoid this. This avoidance makes things easier for me in the moment but does not work well in the long-term. If I could remind myself of the wisdom found within Proverbs 15:1, perhaps I’d make

Swords and Arrows

794) When I was in the 6th grade, something happened while playing with the neighborhood kids that I still see vividly in my mind. A bunch of us decided playing darts would be fun. Now, picture five boys and me with sharp darts–what could go wrong? Well, one boy threw his dart and I remember

In the Magnification of Night

793) I don’t know why this is true, but whenever I have some problem on my mind and I awake in the middle of the night, the problem always feels much worse. It’s almost as if my worries, fears and thoughts magnify the trouble that’s on my mind. I have found something that helps this

The Value of Hope

791) It’s been several years since I read Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl. Frankl was a psychiatrist who was a prisoner in Nazi concentration camps during WWII. In Man’s Search for Meaning, Frankl writes of the different ways prisoners around him responded to the horrific things that happened when held captive. As he spoke

Generosity

790) My grandmother was one of the most generous people I’ve known. If she thought you needed something, if she could, she would get it. She never hesitated to give of anything she had, including love. Proverbs 11:25 tells us that giving to others brings blessings to yourself. This is a fact that my dear

Want a Less-complicated Life?

788) The act of lying has been watered down in recent years. A person can “fib” or tell a “white lie” but a lie is a lie. Proverbs 10:9 addresses the fact that a liar better have a good memory. It lets us know that by being truthful, your life will be less complicated. Less

Words of Importance

786) One thing that drives my husband and I crazy is that our local weatherman will use the term, “as well” as many as 6 times or more in a brief weather forecast. For me, as a writer, I cringe hearing these words over and over because they mean nothing. Repeated words, however, can illustrate

A Good Neighbor Is . . .

785) One of my favorite classic TV shows is Andy Griffith. I realize that the TV world doesn’t always reflect reality, but there’s something endearing about that show. We see a town whose inhabitants work together and share of themselves. They help where needed and know when someone is sick so they can take a

Natural Circumstances

783) When we hear the word consequences, it’s common to think of the negative ones, but consequences, simply put, are results from one’s actions–good or bad. Proverbs 2:7 tells us that the upright will be successful. So, using this definition, success results from being upright–doing what is right. Sometimes it may seem that doing right
