Words are just words aren't they?

Sometimes we hurt the one's we love and sometimes that causes a rift that changes our relationships forever. It's amazing how fragile our relationships really are, even our deepest and strongest relationships. Just a few words can change the course of a good relationship so much, that within a few years no one would ever know you were even friends or married. Today, if you have hurt or said something to offend or upset somebody, even if you didn't mean it or it was taken out of context, talk to the person and apologize, a few minutes being humble can make a life time of change, Make the Change!

Fixing a Heart

Today, I ask that you pray for a young girl not yet a teenager who is having extensive heart surgery for a rare heart condition that will hopefully give her some extra time with us and extra time for them to find a way to fix her completely or for God to heal her completely. We are praying for you Kelly, Make the Change!

Weekends are for family!

Earth day was Thursday and this weekend is a good time to get out and enjoy a walk in the park with the family, a hike in the woods, a trip to the nature preserve, or since it's Saturday why not take in a movie with the family and go out for ice cream after, I hear Ocean's is playing around the country, Make the Change!

Happy Earth Day

Today, buy a plant that will produce some kind of food during the summer months and go and plant it at someone's house you know, it will help them get some food and will help make the earth a better place. Make the Change!

Friends are Friends Forever

Friends are Friends Forever: We get so busy sometimes with our lives that we often forget about cultivating our relationships with our friends. Many of our friends have been through a whole lot with us and are still with us, find some old pictures of you and your friends and call a few up and visit telling them about the pictures, all of you will get a good laugh and laughing is never a bad thing! Make the Change!

What did you say?

Give someone a compliment, we are so quick to tell each-other our faults and to slow to tell each-other what we like, Make the Change!

Work on it

Do something special for the one you love, do something so unexpected that it shocks them in a good way. Love is often lost because we forget to cultivate it, think about it and spend time keeping it alive. Make the Change!!!

Finding a way to help

Today, find a way to help out your community. There are many organizations that are out there giving out food, clothing and many other free items and all of them need help handing them out to the public. Find a place and give them an hour or two, it will be well worth the time. Make the Change!

Share your blessings

We are so blessed and the more people I meet the more blessed I feel. We hear people say this broke or that stopped working and I don't know how we're going to afford to replace it, or my kid's really wish they had this or that but we just can't afford it. Let's look throughout our house and find things that we may not use anymore, or we have replaced with a newer model and find someone who needs it and share it with them. Be a blessing and Make the Change!

Happy Neighbors

Like a good neighbor state farm is there, we hear that on TV all the time, but having a good neighbor can make life much more bearable, simple and happy. Being a good neighbor can change the lives of those you live by and with. Find a way to make your neighbor smile, maybe rake their lawn, mow it, have a cook out and invite them over. Make the Change!

Show Them Thanks

There are so many people that have made a change in my life and my family life, the kid's and I were thinking what could we do for them and we found a simple craft, they are wind chimes and figured why not make them and give the chimes to those people with a quick note of how much we appreciate what they have done. It's an easy way to do something personal and different as a reminder to them of the change that they made and a reminder to us to, Make the Change!

They don't like me, so why should I help them?

Doing something nice for someone you like is easy, doing something nice for someone who may hate you, dislike you, or drives you crazy, well that's a little tougher. As Easter is just a few days away, we celebrate the greatest gift ever given to mankind, a man who was also God, willingly laid down his life to save even those who didn't want it at the time. So today, think of a way that you can sacrifice for someone and make their life better, even if right now they don't think or know that they need it, Make the Change!
