Life on Purpose
The enlightenment of letting go
Letting go of what I thought life should be means gratefully embracing what life really is.
In a storm-tossed life, we do better when we don’t look down at the waves
Most of us waver between courage and fear, tossed about by waves of anxiety and difficulties of life that threaten my faith. Like Peter, we do better when we don’t look down at the waves and keep our eyes on Jesus.
Life on Purpose In these stormy times, rely on love
Love. It’s small enough to fit into a pocket. It’s large enough to span the generations. It’s light enough to cause laughter and deep enough to penetrate the hardest of hearts.
Life on Purpose Signs from heaven above are all around us — we just need to believe and see
I am looking up for feathers floating from the sky, for mourning doves and butterflies, and I’m listening for still, small voices whispering I love you’s in the summer breeze and singing songs from heaven.
Life on Purpose: Questioning God is not sinful — it helps us clarify His will

Life on Purpose: Let God hold your heart in His hands and it will not be troubled
“Do not let your hearts be troubled” specifically implies that we can choose the impact difficulties have on our hearts. Laugh, cry, sing, dance and breathe, believing God that there is no trouble in this world that will not be overcome.
Life on Purpose Recuperation teaches us the lessons of humility and patience
Walking a mile in the shoes of a handicapped person teaches us the lessons in humility, patience and literally being grounded.
Mercy flows from taking time to view life through another’s eyes
Mercy comes from walking a mile in another's shoes and seeing life from their perspective.
Life on Purpose The deepest understanding of the paschal mystery comes to us through everyday life
Whether you consider yourself religious or not, there is great human value in pondering the paschal mystery. Every life is formed with this same pattern. We all endure our own passions, deaths and resurrections many times before our lives come to an end.
Life on Purpose A dog’s love is a gift from God
Of all of God's creatures, service dogs are perhaps one of the greatest physical evidence of His love and protection.
