When you give someone a kind word and a bright smile, you are planting a seed of hope in their life This little microscopic seed can grow into a developing blossom of love that radiates the light of peace and new beginnings. The beauty of that light can form new and exciting pathways of solid foundation and excitement that the heart could not even fathom. Suddenly, the heart begins to greatly appreciate in more detail the blessings of each moment and develops a richer zest for life.

Step back and watch the transforming power in action. It is not the outward appearance that counts. It is what you give of yourself, those special gifts of the heart that set the world ablaze with the shooting star of motivation and makes a difference. Rock someone's world today.

The Light      Tia sat quietly in the lunchroom, trying with all of her might to finish her meal.  She just didn't know what to make of all of the discord going on around her.  It started when a few of the employees that she works with began to express their opinions about the political status of the nation.  Suddenly, the room erupted in anger and arguments.   She tried to change the subject and talk to some of the people at her table.  But, it didn't seem to do much good.  Tia returned to her office.  She finished her work for the day.  When she went home that evening, she quickly got ready to go to her college classes.   But, when she arrived on campus, she was dismayed to find political protests going on.  Tia was disappointed to learn that a disagreement had forced the closing of the student library earlier in the day.   Hearing all of the draining news on the television was discouraging to her....

The greatest gift and blessing is every moment of life and the love that fills those moments. Life is a precious and fragile gift of promise from God's heart. It is an opportunity to share the beauty and uniqueness of your heart and gifts and make the world a little brighter. Share a smile with others. Find laughter and happiness in the moments you enjoy with family and friends. Tell others how much they mean to you. Be a lighthouse in someone's life. Make every moment of your gift count.

Prayer Of Hope Father:  I try to fill my heart with hope and happiness, But sometimes I let fear and worry get to me I become burdened with anxiety and stress It takes away the best of who I am to be. I feel lost and alone, so far away from you, But, you see each of the tears that fall from my face A beautiful light of love begins to shine through and you wrap me in the warmth of your great embrace. There is a perfect peace that words cannot describe, An awesome feeling of assurance that takes hold Knowing that in your presence I'll always abide with a rugged strength and beautiful joy untold. So now I see a perfect hope forever more Fear and worry are no longer a heavy plight I will trust in you Lord to open every door and hold tightly to your love and grace with great might. Amen.

Crossroads      Brandon watched the clock with great anticipation.  He was just minutes away from something he thought would never come summer vacation.  He absolutely loved his first semester in college.  Things were going better than he could have imagined.  He was getting straight As.  He made some really awesome friends.     But, Brandon was going to get to go home for the summer.  He was going to see his childhood buddies that he hasn't seen for a while.  They were four amazing young men who were more like brothers than best friends.  They lived just houses away from one another, and went through school together.  This special reunion was planned months ago.     Finally, the last seconds of class were done.  Brandon raced back to his room.  He gathered all of his bags together.  A friend agreed to take him to the airport.  When he reached the airport in his hometown...
