Don't Give Up

One day a young man was walking along an isolated road when he heard
something like a crying sound. He couldn't tell for sure what the sound
was but it seemed to be coming from underneath a bridge. As he approached
the bridge, the sound got louder and then he saw a pathetic sight. There,
lying in the muddy riverbed, was a puppy about two months old. It had a
gash on its head and was covered with mud. Its front legs were swollen
where they had been tight...

An old missionary couple had been working in Africa for years and
were returning to New York to retire. They had no pension; their
health was broken; they were defeated, discouraged, and afraid. They
discovered they were arriving at the same airport as President Obama.

accompanied the President's entourage as the crowd pushed and
shoved their way to get a glimpse of the president. Then the

So often we go through life, just hanging by on one day after another, feeling as if there is no meaning to life. One day is the same as the next, a thought often comes to mind, "Why am I here?" or What difference can I make?"

The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood. One starts to think "I have no idea where I have been or... where I am going!" The man who walks in the dark does not know where he is going, he does not know where ...

Daily Encouragement For March 05:

God gives us the ingredients to make our daily bread, but He expects us to do the baking.

Triumph takes just the right ingredients, add a pinch of "try" and a lot of "umph."

When God measures a man, He puts the tape around the heart, not the head.

The best times in life are made a thousand times better when they are shared with God.

To have the best relationships, treat your family like friends and your friends like family.

Can't sleep, give your troubles over t...

Incredibly, an eagle knows when a storm is approaching long before it breaks? The eagle will fly to some high spot and wait for the winds to come. When the storm hits, it sets its wings so that the wind will pick

The eagle does not escape the storm. It simply uses the storm to lift it higher. It rises on the winds that bring the storm to endure the storm.

When the st...
