Impact For Living

Building lives of significance and impact for Christ, with Christ and for eternity.

[Impact For Living @ImpactForLiving]

Some of the greatest evidence that God is at work in our lives isn't found in WHAT we accomplish, but in WHO we are becoming.

Love. Joy. Peace. Patience. Kindness. Goodness. Faithfulness. Gentleness. Self-control.

Lord, let Your fruit grow in us today.

[Impact For Living @ImpactForLiving]

The fruit of the Spirit isn't something we can force or manufacture.

Fruit grows naturally when it stays connected to its source.

Stay close to Jesus today, and trust Him to produce His character in your life.
#Galatians

[Impact For Living @ImpactForLiving]

When life becomes difficult, our first prayer is often, "Lord, change my circumstances."

Perhaps His first work is to change us.

As we walk with Him, the fruit of the Spirit becomes visible for others to see.
Galatians 5:22-24

America doesn't change one headline, one election, or one law at a time. It changes one heart at a time.

A reminder that the greatest renewal begins when each of us turns back to God and lives out our faith with courage, humility, and love.

The best antidote I know for worry is work. The best cure for weariness is the challenge of helping someone who is even more tired. One of the great ironies of life is this: He or she who serves almost always benefits more than he or she who is served.
Gordon B. Hinckley

Relationships are one of God's greatest gifts. Don't let past hurts, disappointments, or regrets keep you from the people He has placed in your life today. Love deeply, forgive freely, and don't miss the moments that matter most. https://t.co/ENyuthfTq6

Who is writing the story of our life?  Will someone watching us say we lived a life aligned with God, or the world.  That will be the answer!

Feel alone at times? You are not. I am not. We are not.

God is always there with you.

It does not get any better than that.

My dad worked hard. Second shift. Sometimes third.

When he was on nights, my mom would come outside and throw with me in the backyard. They both just made their time available. That was the whole thing.

I didn't always make it easy.

One game in high school, I struck out three times and made two errors. Dad got in the car and started replaying all of it. Finally I told him to pull over.

He said, what do you mean pull over?

I said I need to go to the bathroom.

He pulled over. I got out. Told him I didn't actually need to go, but I was done talking about the game. I was the one who struck out. I was the one who made the errors. I lived it. I didn't need to relive it.

He went quiet for about five minutes. Then he said, "How about we get some ice cream when we get home?"

That's a father right there.

He heard me. He let it go.

He found the next right thing.

Father's Day is coming up. If you want a gift that goes a little deeper than a card, I've got a signed copy of my book, Hurdle-isms paired with a bobblehead.

The truest truth I can tell from my own life story is that Jesus made all the difference. I have told him this so many times. Penned it so many times. And will say it so many times before I see him face-to-face. I know who and how I’d be without him. He’s allowed me to stare that person in the face no few times.

If I have any dignity at all. Any self-respect. Any respect for other others. Any freedom from bondage. Any endurance of love, endurance of hope, endurance of faith, endurance of joy, it’s him.

He has not just made a difference to me. He has made all the difference. This is why I can’t shut up about him. I will never believe that what he’s done for me he would not joyfully and lavishly do for anyone.

What is the “focus” of your life? Is it moving you toward all you were created to be? Is it changing lives for good—here and eternally?

When we need it most, remember that we are never alone.
And embrace life-giving moments when they come.
They just may save your life!

[Echoes of War @EchoesofWarYT]

On June 6, 1944, a 56-year-old general with a secret walked onto Utah Beach under fire, armed with a cane and a pistol.

The secret: his heart was failing. He had hidden it from the army doctors so they wouldn't pull him from the mission.

His name was Theodore Roosevelt Jr. Son of the President. He had begged three separate times to lead the first wave ashore at Normandy before his commanders finally said yes.

When his landing craft drifted 2,000 yards off course, every instinct said redirect the following waves to the correct zone. Instead, Roosevelt walked the beach himself, alone, under artillery fire, cane in hand, reading the terrain.

His verdict: "We'll start the war from right here."

He then stood on that beach and personally greeted every regiment that landed after him, pointing them inland, cracking jokes under shellfire, steadying 18-year-olds who had never seen combat. He did this for hours.

Years later, Omar Bradley was asked to name the single most heroic act he had ever witnessed in combat.

His answer, without hesitation: "Ted Roosevelt on Utah Beach."

Roosevelt's son, Captain Quentin Roosevelt II, also landed at Normandy that same morning. He was named after his uncle, Quentin Roosevelt, who had been shot down as a fighter pilot over France in World War I.

Three generations. Three wars. One family.

Theodore Roosevelt Jr. died in his sleep 36 days later. Heart attack. The thing he had been hiding finally won. He never learned he had been awarded the Medal of Honor.

He was buried at the Normandy American Cemetery.

In 1955, his family had his brother Quentin, killed in WWI, exhumed from where he fell in France and reinterred right beside him. Quentin is the only World War I soldier buried there.

Two brothers. Two world wars. The same French soil.

Their father had once said: "Do what you can, with what you have, where you are."

Both of his sons did exactly that.

"The living, the living—they praise you, as I am doing today." — Isaiah 38:19

One of the greatest privileges of life is simply being here. To encourage someone. To learn. To serve. To worship. To love. There is value in this day because God has given it to us. #Purpose #Faith

[Impact For Living @ImpactForLiving]

"This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." — Psalm 118:24

Not yesterday. Not someday. Today.

Every sunrise is an invitation to live with gratitude, purpose, and hope. The day may not be perfect, but it is still a gift. #Faith #Joy

"He has made everything beautiful in its time." — Ecclesiastes 3:11

Some seasons are difficult. Some are wonderful. Most are a mixture of both. But God is still at work, weaving beauty into the ordinary moments of our lives. Keep looking for it. #Ecclesiastes #Hope

Fifty-nine years ago, Scott gave Lynda a small engagement ring and asked her to marry him. Years later, he asked Christ into his life.
One decision changed his life on earth. The other changed his life for eternity.

"I have come that they may have life, and have it abundantly." — John 10:10

Jesus didn't just promise life after death. He promised abundant life NOW—marked by purpose, joy, peace, and meaningful relationships. Don't rush past today's blessings while waiting for tomorrow's.

"The earth is the Lord’s and everything in it." — Psalm 24:1

It's easy to focus on what's wrong with the world. But Scripture begins with a different reminder: this world belongs to God. There is still beauty to notice, work to do, and people to love today. #Faith #Gratitude

Who will stand, step out, and go?  Never forget that throughout our history, American Heroes have stepped up and said, “Send Me!"
