Someone once said, 'Fall asleep with a dream and wake up with a purpose." Such a simple but beautiful thought. Try remembering it tonight when you go to bed, and then tomorrow morning when you wake up.
A New Beginning
What a great time for a new beginning! No matter where you are in life, it's not too late to begin again. Maybe you've been in a dark place, maybe a sickness has you thinking that there's no need to fight, maybe you're at the lowest point of your life. But anybody can quit. Anybody can just decide that there's no sense trying. Anybody can decide that it's too late. Don't be anybody. Be inspired by what one man endured and defeated years and years ago. Decide today to start believing!
Giving Thanks
Let this day be a time when we give thanks for all the good things in our lives. Let us pause, and reflect upon all the blessings that we have received in the past, and the hope that we will continue to receive them in the future.
