Reflection on Verse for Today

God has been incredibly kind to us! Consider all the varied ways he has provided for us: some with material blessings, others with excellent volunteer opportunities, some with lasting personal connections, and for all of us, the assurance of eternal life. What will we do with these advantages, though? Will we keep them to ourselves, hide them, or hoard them? If we do, our blessings will dry up in our parched hearts, wither, and break. However, one of the best ways we can express our gratitude to God for his compassion, mercy, and kindness is by giving to those in need who will never be able to repay us for our generosity.

My Prayer

Thank you so much for the numerous, abundant benefits that you have bestowed onto my life, O LORD God, my loving and kind Father. I pray that that I may be a channel for your blessings so that people might see your love in my actions and attitudes. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
