“Agency is the power to think, choose, and act for ourselves. It comes with endless opportunities, accompanied by responsibility and consequences. It is a blessing and a burden. Using this gift of agency wisely is critical today because never in the world's history have God's children been so blessed or so blatantly confronted with so many choices.” ThinkingWorldChildrenTodayChoicesOpportunityResponsibilityBlessingConsequenceBlessedBurdenCriticalEndlessAgencyEndless Opportunities Author:Sharon G.

“It's easy to explain away evil. We have a free choice, and our greatest blessing is also our greatest curse, because I don't always make good choices. Other people make bad choices. I make bad choices. And sometimes we hurt other people. Sometimes intentionally, sometimes unintentionally.” PeopleSometimesChoicesEvilEasyHurtBlessingCurseFree ChoiceBad ChoicesGreatest BlessingsGood Choices Author:Rick Warren

“There were times in my life when I said, "Oh God, I'm making a terrible, terrible mistake here." And on another level it looked as if that's exactly what I had done. All of us can look back across our lives and see what we thought was a disaster was actually a blessing - from a long-term perspective, it was a blessing. With practice, we can shorten the length of time between "what a dumb mistake I've made" and "what a brilliant choice that was.” IfsLooksLongMadeSaidDoneChoicesTermLevelsMistakePracticeOur LivesPerspectiveTerribleBlessingBrilliantDisasterDumbLong TermLength Author:Richard Bach
