1.  God’s Amazing World

What’s your favorite place in the world?

The beach?  The mountains?

Your own back yard with your family?

What’s your favorite time of the day?

Are you energized by the beauty of a sunrise?

Soothed by the glory of a sunset?

Amazed by the twinkling glory of the night sky?

Why do we see such amazing beauty everywhere we look?

2.  No More “Happy New Year”?

How many times have you wished somebody a happy new year?

Are you searching for your own version of a happy new year?

Read David Rupert’s thoughts on why wishing for a happy New Year may be a distraction from a search for something far more meaningful, far more permanent than happiness…

 

3.  Slow Down Time

How Long?

That, says Ann Voskamp, is the question we all ask…

How long will I live?

How many years?

How many weeks?

How many days, how many hours?

Read her thoughts about a different question we should ask…

A whole different thought pattern we should have…

If we want to slow down the passage of time…

 

4.  Live in the moment…whatever it brings

Live in the moment whatever it brings…

We all make plans…

Then life happens.
