You have to trust in something.

When our computer goes up we call someone who knows how to fix it. We trust the technician.

When our car breaks down we call someone who knows how to fix it. We trust the mechanic.

But for some reason, when things go wrong in our lives we don’t call the one who knows how to fix it. In fact, we do everything “but”.

God made you. He knows what works and what doesn’t. We are given the choice whether we believe that or not.

I can tell you for certainty, he knows how to help you. But it may take some patience on your part. It may take being teachable and willing to listen. It may take doing some things you don’t want to do.

And trust.

freedom.

freedom.

Today we celebrate the birth of a free nation. Heated debates and fervent discussions were held in sweltering meeting places as our statesmen wrestled over the grueling decisions for America’s birth. Still others continued with courage and conviction for America to  forge her path into the future.

Many, many have died for our freedom.  Your heart may ache over the loved you lost who died – or the loved one who is suffering emotional or physical losses – to protect and defend our freedom.

 

Thank-you.

How you think about things makes a big difference. We can see the glass half-full or half-empty.

Half-full isn’t just positive thinking. It’s hope. It’s believing that good can happen just as quickly as the bad happened.

It’s all in how you choose to see things.

Don’t allow cynicism to cloud your thinking. Or else your glass will be completely empty.
