As you go about your day and look at friends, family, people you encounter ask yourself......what's more important to a relationship common values or other commonalities (like tastes in music, ect)?

One of the challenges for most Christians is making sure no one finds out much they struggle with sin.
 
 Heavenly Father, look not this day upon my failed works but to the finished and perfect work of your Son. For the sake of His suffering and death and because of his resurrection from the dead, forgive my sins. By the gifts of your Spirit, through Word and Sacrament, grant me a clear conscience. Give me faith to trust and courage to believe that great is your love for me and that come what may, nothing in this day, will be able to separate me from your love that is in Christ Jesus, my Lord

Thought of the day:  if you had  friend who spoke to you in the same way that you sometimes speak to yourself, how long would you allow that person to be your friend?

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

Apologizing does not always mean that you are wrong and the other person is right.
It just means that you value your relationship more than your ego.

I once asked an old man: which is more important, to love or to be loved?

He replied: which is more important to a bird?  The left wing or the right wing?

God has a set time for your opportunity. There is a set time for that problem to turn around, a set time for your healing, your promotion, your breakthrough. It may be tomorrow, or next week, or five years from now. But when you understand the time has already been set, it takes all the pressure off. You won’t live worried, wondering when this is ever going to happen. You’ll relax and enjoy your life knowing that the promise has already been scheduled and your answer is on the way!

“There is little difference in people, but that little difference makes a big difference. The little difference is attitude.
The big difference is whether it is positive or negative.”

Most people are starved for acceptance and affection that even a simple little thing like a smile would mean the world to them.

1 Thessalonians 5:14
And we urge you, brothers and sisters, warn those who are idle and disruptive, encourage the disheartened, help the weak, be patient with everyone.
