If a life is lived in “the blink of an eye”, a day is lived in “the blink of a blink”.
Psalm 144:4 Did you know that we blink our eyes on average about 29,000 times every day? I didn’t… until I Googled it. (All of a sudden, my eyes are getting heavy…) Suffice to say, if something happens in the “blink of eye”, more than likely, you’re gonna miss it. Too many of us treat…
Read MoreRather than “growing up”, try to live your life “growing down” for the spirit of a child will inherit the earth.
“Oh, to be young again.” We’ve all probably said that at one time or another – or at least thought it. Personally, I find that as I age, the wonders of youth flood my memory more and more. Why? Because it was magical… It was a time of life where the toils and burdens of…
Read MoreLosing is a temporary setback while running out of time is a permanent defeat.
It’s generally accepted that time is the most precious commodity we have. Why? Do I really need to take up some of our most precious commodity to explain it? 🙂 Everything we do in life is measured by time. Work starts at 8:00. The soccer game starts at 3:00. Dinner is served at 6:00. Our…
Read MoreFairness is not a concern of the Grim Reaper.
It seems as though “fairness” is all the rage these days. And today’s Tiny Words. Big Life. blog is not proposing there’s something wrong with fairness. Quite the contrary… fairness is a worthy goal and it’s application should affect some of our actions – like shorter kids should be picked for the volleyball team –…
Read MoreIf you’re dying to have something, chances are you’ll die without remembering it.
“I gotta have that.” Have you ever said that? Well, of course you have… or at least you did using better grammar than I did. 🙂 First of all, wanting things is not necessarily a bad thing. We all do it. There are a lot of things we want that will make our physical life…
Read MoreA hearse is not equipped with a transmission capable of going in reverse.
For most people, the thought of a hearse elicits an unsettling visual image inside our head. If words are associated with the image, they generally mean something like “The End”. In other words, there’s no more second chances. We’re at the end of the road. As a Christian, even though we know the victory has…
Read MoreA blessed life is a beautiful painting that begins on an empty canvas and ends as a masterpiece hanging in the hallowed halls of heaven.
We may not think of our life as a beautiful painting very often. There’s all those warts and festering issues we have. Some of those were put there by others but for the most part, those are self-imposed. So what does God and Rembrandt have in common? They both possess the miraculous ability to look…
Read MoreA daily walk with Jesus wears a path to a bountiful life.
On this special day, I’m moved to create a slight variation to this Tiny Words. Big Life. quote. To understand why I would do this, you’d have to know that this day is my earthly father’s birthday. If you hang with me for a minute, I’ll share what that variation is. I just love the…
Read MoreNothing lasts forever except forever and nothing.
Well, that’s not exactly true. I should have started that Tiny Word with “On earth…” because today’s Tiny Words Bible verse reminds us that the word of God lasts forever. Have you ever tried to wrap your mind around what “forever” actually is? It’s totally impossible to grasp. First of all, we have to completely…
Read MoreYou can’t have complete happiness without complete love for all of God’s children.
On a day set aside for love, Valentine’s Day is one of those days that should be celebrated each and every day. At least, that’s how we should treat those we love. Nothing is too good for them. What about strangers? To please God, we have to have unadulterated love–that is, pure and containing no…
