Meaningful life
A young woman rushes out in front of a fast-moving train, though right before the train comes, she is held back. A man grabs ahold of her, taking her from the path of that oncoming train, as he wrestles with her, to save her life. This physical act reminding her that her life has value.…

Kind and compassionate
Sometimes as humans we assume. We assume that we know everything about everybody, or that we know enough to come to our own conclusions on how we should treat them. I am not saying to be unwise on how we interact with others or to not have healthy boundaries. Those are essential and very important…

Bike on display
I have a bike hung up in our garage. It is an old Schwinn bike and my dad and I decorated it just the way that I wanted it when I was a little girl. To me, it’s priceless. It’s like a childhood artifact, etched with memories of a time long ago. One filled with…

Always depend on Him
When I was a little girl, I had preconceived misconceptions on certain people of the world. I believed that doctors knew everything medically and could heal almost everything. I thought teachers were the smartest and knew everything academically. I believed that religious leaders were all good and safe, with all knowledge and wisdom. I thought…

Commitment
He brings me yellow roses. He helps me with the dishes. He sings me songs of love, when I need it most. He reads the Bible to me, and listens patiently. He deals with all of my crazy moods and all my sometimes attitude. He sits beside me in a hospital bed, refusing to leave…

Life unexpected
We had our day pretty mapped out. We thought we knew how it would go, and were looking forward to some special parts of it. Then, life unexpected. Though it wasn’t necessarily bad, it just was not what we had expected. Our day turned out different then we had planned. Sometimes life is like that.…
