“Time mellows people as it mellows wine, as long as the grapes are good. You may set out to be a businesswoman or businessman but in the course of time end up caring for a dying parent, orphaned niece, or disabled brother. You may encounter illness yourself and end up being a writer, touching the heartstrings, not the purse strings of other people. That's why it's best to always be true to yourself and God and to be flexible within His will. He will use you.” PeopleHeartMayLongEndsUseTimeCoursesParentDyingBrotherWineIllnessCaringBeing TrueEncountersStringsTouchingBusinessmanFlexibleDisabledGrapesPursesBe True To YourselfTrue To YourselfNieceHeartstrings Author:Barbara Johnson

But who said there wouldn't be surprises? Knowing God just means that all the rules will be fair; at the end of our life drama, we'll see that. We never know how things will turn out, but if we know with certainty they will make sense regardless of how they turn out, we're on to something.” IfsKnowsLifeMeanSaidEndsPainTurnsSidesHurtLinesWalksKnow HowKnowingTakenComedyOur LivesDramaLaughterFairsTragedySurpriseCertaintyMake SenseSlipsKnowing GodDrama Life Book:Joy Breaks: 90 Devotions to Celebrate, Simplify, and Add Laughter to Your Life Source: Joy Breaks: 90 Devotions to Celebrate, Simplify, and Add Laughter to Your Life
“God never gives up on us no matter how hard we try to get ourselves loose. God does not let go. That doesn't mean he controls everything we do. It doesn't mean he puts a bridle on us and leads us by the nose. He gives each one of us free will and common sense and a spirit that can communicate with his. When we go through afflictions, he allows us to choose our response. But no matter what our response may be, he sticks around to the bitter end.” GivingTryingMayMeanDoeEndsMatterHardGodSpiritCommonLetting GoGiving UpNo Matter WhatSticksResponseCommunicateCommon SenseBitterNosesFree WillAfflictionNever Giving Up Book:Joy Breaks: 90 Devotions to Celebrate, Simplify, and Add Laughter to Your Life Source: Joy Breaks: 90 Devotions to Celebrate, Simplify, and Add Laughter to Your Life
