Our talents are the gift that God gives to us... What we make of our talents is our gift back to God

Your talent is God's gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God.

There are two big forces at work, external and internal. We have very little control over external forces such as tornadoes, earthquakes, floods, disasters, illness and pain. What really matters is the internal force. How do I respond to those disasters? Over that I have complete control.

We need to learn to let go as easily as we grasp and we will find our hands full and our minds empty.

No amount of time can erase the memory of a good cat, and no amount of masking tape can ever totally remove his fur from your couch.
