At the end of the day, I want to have lived an abundant day, a day not determined by the number of items I cross off of my to-do list.
Psalm 90:12

Shout out to everyone who is still committed to trying to be an open-hearted and kind person even while having to process lots of heavy things.

One of the kindest, most compassionate things we can do for others is to give them the space and permission to say they are not okay.

For every person we encounter, we hold up a mirror to them of how we see them. When they look into that mirror, do they see an image that increases or diminishes their sense of value? That's a question we should all be asking ourselves. #FridayFeeling #FierceLove

Jesus always meets us where we are but He never reminds us of where we came from or how He found us, only that He loves us!

Men who exemplify love, patience, kindness, and gentleness, are not “effeminate.”

They’re exemplifying the fruit of the Spirit.

To denigrate these qualities is to denigrate the Spirit.

[Tiny Buddha @tinybuddha]

"Hug everyone you love a lot tighter. Never leave someone in an argument. Be present. Say "I love you” way too much. Take a lot of pictures with the ones you love. You never know when it will be the last time you see them. Please don't take any second for granted.”

[Valarie Percy @gracemeetsgrit]

Don't feel as if you have to push through when you feel overwhelmed. Take time to, "Be still and know...".
