Keeps You on Your Toes
Have you heard that phrase, “Keeps you on your toes”? I was reminded of it just the other day. We were getting ready for a company meeting. Things are shifting and we are introducing new policies and I couldn’t help but think how change pushed you forward. It keeps you on your toes. Obviously, this […]

The Christmas Rifle
This story about the Christmas Rifle is so inspiring and humbling. I’m not sure who wrote it, but I do know that we can all benefit from reading it. The Rifle (and a Lesson in Selflessness) It was Christmas Eve 1881. I was fifteen years old and feeling like the world had caved in on […]
Love Never Fails

Choosing Gratitude
Thanksgiving is such a special time of year. It marks the beginning of the holidays and reminds us of the importance of choosing gratitude. It gives us the opportunity to pause and realize what’s truly important: our faith and our family. I’ve heard stories of the first Thanksgiving in the New World. Accounts of the […]
How to Help Others
Honestly, we can feel at a bit of a loss. We have a very real desire to help others, we just lack the “how” bit. Some people in life are easier than others and some are more difficult. Profound, right? I am going somewhere with this, I promise! When we are trying to figure out […]
Trust in the Lord
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. That is one of my favorite Bible verses. Partially because it is one of the first I memorized, but also because of the message. I love it. Let’s break it down and really go over it. “Trust in the […]
