How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.

Today’s word from Daily Word
This I felt was sooooo appropriate for today!

“I give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart, and I will glorify your name forever.”–Psalm 86:12

Prosperity
With a thankful heart, I anticipate and accept God’s abundance.
Abundance is everywhere. Golden stalks of wheat have emerged from tiny grains planted in a field. A surging, powerful ocean wave has developed from the convergence of countless drops of water. An overflowing continuation of goodness has resulted from a single, random act of kindness.
I not only observe prosperity, but I also participate in its flow. With God as my source, I am blessed with guidance, resources, and opportunity. I nurture and share these blessings, helping to create new forms of abundance. I pass along good.
With a joyful heart, I contribute to prosperity. With a thankful heart, I anticipate and accept God’s abundance.
“I give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart, and I will glorify your name forever.”–Psalm 86:12

“To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children…to leave the world a better place…to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.” ~~
Ralph Waldo Emerson

No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.
~ Aesop

My guiding principles in life are to be honest, genuine, thoughtful and caring.
Prince William

1 Timothy 6:6-7, 17-19 — “But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. … Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life.”

You can’t live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you.

~John Wooden

“I expect to pass through this world but once; any good thing therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now; let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.”

Stephan Grellet

It’s nice to be important, but it’s more important to be nice.  ~Author Unknown

One good thing naturally leads to another. So go ahead, right now, and do one good thing.

Just one simple positive step is enough to create some solid momentum. Go ahead and take that small step.

The challenges of life may seem overwhelming. Get yourself moving, just a little bit at first, in a positive direction, and those challenges will suddenly feel a lot smaller.

You don’t get to the top of the mountain in one enormous leap. You get there one small step at a time, and from the moment you begin the view just keeps getting better and better.

What one small thing could you choose to set the tone for the rest of this day, or even for the rest of your life? There are so many possibilities available to you.

Move just a little bit in the direction that you know is good and right for you. Once you get going, you won’t want to stop.

– Ralph Marston
