Good morning! Often we turn to our faith only in time of sorrow, stress, and challenge. Suddenly our faith becomes needed as a source for strength. We ask our faith to guide us through...to see clearly what lay 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, faith can also be a pillow on which we can 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-base are more optimistic and live longer. Why? I believe it is because faith teaches us how to trust and believe in a world where those values aren't seen everyday. Consider your faith practices and if you can incorporate a daily time to exercise your faith.

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