April 14th:

Since our place is in heaven, that means here on earth . . . it isn't our home. We belong to the kingdom of God.As a result, we should be acting like it! If we don't, people will get a distorted view of what our "homeland" is like.We should, in simple terms, be on our best behaviour. "By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another."John 13:35

April 15th:

Nothing speaks more boldly than a life of integrity. Nothing! Nothing stands the test like solid character. Get to know God . . . get to know His laws.If you know those, not only will you be able to live such a life with great character, but you will also be able to stand in the raging storms of life."Those who love your law have great peace, and nothing causes them to stumble."Psalm 119:165

April 16th:

Turn it up a notch. Go out of your way to say thanks to someone who completes a task for you.Acknowledge and express your gratitude for what others are. A mark of maturity is the ability to affirm, not just appreciate."Wisdom is in the presence of the one who has understanding."Proverbs 17:24

To make this little thing called Life work, we gotta lean and support . . .relate, respond, give, take, etc.Especialllyyy in God's family.So, suck it up and work as a team.After all, there is no "I" in "team"."Whoever loves the Father loves the child born of Him."1 John 5:1

April 29th:
Ya know, theologians have spent countless hours and days searching out the characteristics of God.
