“Faith sees the invisible, believes the incredible, and receives the impossible.” ~ Author unknown

Good morning!

Often, we turn to our faith only in times of sorrow, stress, and challenge.  Then, suddenly, our faith becomes needed as a source of strength.  We ask our faith to guide us through; to see clearly what lies ahead and how we should confront it.  But how often do we dismiss our faith when times are calm, joyful, and untroubled…when we are resting and content.

Just as our faith can be a light post to see us through times of trouble, it can also be a pillow on which we rest, and a light to shine and make our joyous days even brighter.

Your Turn:  What role does faith play in your life?  Studies have shown that those with a faith-based outlook are more optimistic and live longer than those without.  Why? I believe it is because faith teaches us how to trust and believe in a world where those values aren’t seen every day.  Consider your faith practices and consider if you can incorporate a daily time to exercise your faith.

Today’s Affirmation:  My faith is a light, always guiding my path and my steps.

 And as always, don't forget to start your day with a heartfelt: "Something great is going to happen today... I can't wait to see what it is!"

And when ending your day ask yourself: "What is one more thing I can do to make today matter?
