"I BELIEVE that at EVERY level of SOCIETY

—The DALAI LAMA
"Too OFTEN we UNDERESTIMATE the POWER of a TOUCH, a SMILE, a KIND WORD, a LISTENING EAR, an HONEST COMPLIMENT, or the SMALLEST ACT of CARING, ALL of which have the POTENTIAL to turn a LIFE AROUND."
- LEO BUSCAGLIA
"CARRY OUT a random act of KINDNESS, with NO EXPECTATION of REWARD, SAFE in the KNOWLEDGE that ONE DAY SOMEONE might do the same FOR YOU"

The Scripture doesn’t say that offenses won’t come, but it tells us how to deal with an offense—cover it and forgive (Proverbs 17:9). The choice is yours. Don’t let life’s hurts get into your heart.
The enemy’s goal is to get you to forget that your true identity and worth are in Jesus, that God in His great love “chose us in Jesus Christ before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in His sight” (Ephesians 1:4). That makes you invaluable.
The Scripture says, “Our life is like a vapor, we’re here for a minute and then we’re gone.” If we really understood how valuable each day is, we would live it happier.
When you’re tempted to get discouraged, look back over your life. You have a history with God. Think about all the times He made a way where you didn’t see a way. He gave you strength. He protected you. He hasn’t brought you this far to leave you where you are.
Together with Jordan, the United States airdropped the first package of aid into Gaza today.
The amount of aid flowing to Gaza is not nearly enough and we will continue to pull out every stop we can to get more aid in.
Today, U.S. Central Command & the Royal Jordanian Air Force carried out a combined humanitarian assistance airdrop to deliver urgently needed humanitarian assistance to the people of Gaza.
I want to thank @CENTCOM, @USAFCENT, @usarmycentral & the RJAF for conducting this important mission, which contributes to ongoing international and U.S. efforts to provide humanitarian relief for the people of Gaza.
