Today, I Choose Laughter!
Laughter is good medicine and a gift from God, and God loves a merry heart. Once, when I was getting ready for work, a popular Christian song played over and over in my head for several minutes. When I got into the car to drive to work, I turned on the radio, and that song…

A Belated Merry Christmas to All!
May God’s peace and Blessings be with you all. Our kids and grandchildren were here from Arizona, Duluth, MN, and Iowa. I felt so Blessed to have my family around me.

Today, I Choose FORGIVENESS
It takes purpose, determination, and action to forgive others who have hurt us. For me, I would say I forgive them, but in my heart, I still carried a grudge. It wasn’t until I heard and heeded the verse in Matthew 5:44 that said to love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. …
