We cannot change our past. We can not change the fact that people act in a certain way. We can not change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude.

Charles R. Swindoll quotes
A family is a place where principles are hammered and honed on the anvil of everyday living.
Alleged "impossibilities" are opportunities for our capacities to be stretched.
Don't be afraid of outgiving God. It is impossible to do that.
Each day of our lives we make deposits in the memory banks of our children.
I cannot even imagine where I would be today were it not for that handful of friends who have given me a heart full of joy. Let's face it, friends make life a lot more fun.
Stand still... and refuse to retreat. Look at it as God looks at it and draw upon His power to hold up under the blast.
The remarkable thing is, we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day.
The secret of living a life of excellence is merely a matter of thinking thoughts of excellence. Really, it's a matter of programming our minds with the kind of information that will set us free.
The swift wind of compromise is a lot more devastating than the sudden jolt of misfortune.
We cannot change our past. We can not change the fact that people act in a certain way. We can not change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude.
When I think of vision, I have in mind the ability to see above and beyond the majority.
When you have vision it affects your attitude. Your attitude is optimistic rather than pessimistic.
With vision there is no room to be frightened., No reason for intimidation. It's time to march forward! Let's be confident and positive!
Words can never adequately convey the incredible impact of our attitudes toward life. The longer I live the more convinced I become that life is 10 percent what happens to us and 90 percent how we respond to it.
