Joy is a deeply felt contentment that transcends difficult circumstances and derives maximum enjoyment from every good experience.

Wisdom is looking at life from God's point of view. You look at life's difficulties and tests as God looks at them. You look at family life and child rearing as God looks at them. You interpret current events as God would interpret them. You see the truth even though all around you are deception and lies.

Charles R. Swindoll
Choose to view life through God's eyes.
Charles R. Swindoll

The secret to responsible trust is acceptance. Acceptance is taking from God's hand absolutely anything He gives, looking into His face in trust and thanksgiving, knowing that the confinement of the hedge we're in is good and for His glory. Even though what we're enduring may be painful, it's good simply because God Himself has allowed it.
Charles R. Swindoll
Man is the only animal that when you pat him on the head, his head swells up.

Grace is ours. Let's live it! Deny it or debate it and we kill it.
Charles R. Swindoll
Authentic men aren't afraid to show affection, release their feelings, hug their children, cry when they're sad, admit it when they're wrong, and ask for help when they need it.
Charles R. Swindoll
Don't get older get better: Live realistically. Give generously. Adapt willingly. Trust fearlessly. Rejoice daily.
