Contribute To Life

by Kay Heitsch

When you move your focus from competition to contribution...life becomes a celebration. ~ Motivational Quotes ~

We all have a lot to contribute in life whether we know it or not. It seems the more we contribute the better we feel.

Our Bible verse says, "The King will reply, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.' Matthew 25:40 NIV

When we do things for others, especially if they can't repay us, we are contributing. We feel good and we feel like life is worth living.

When you move your focus from competition to contribution...life becomes a celebration.

What We Do

by Kay Heitsch

The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have. ~ Vince Lombardi ~

There are a lot of talented people who sit on the sidelines of life. It's important to use the gifts and talents we have. Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work.

Our Bible verse says, "Whatever you do, do it from the heart, as something done for the Lord and not for people" Colossians 3:23

It doesn't matter what we do if we work at it with all of our heart.

The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have.

Feelings Change

by Kay Heitsch

Change the way you feel by changing the way you think. ~ Feelings Change Quotes ~

We can't change the way we feel until we change the way we think because our thoughts determine how we feel. So to say we can't help how we feel isn't true. We can control what we think and our feelings will catch up.

Our Bible verse is a good one for this quote. "Be careful how you think; your life is shaped by your thoughts." Proverb 4:23 GNT

If you're not liking how you're feeling think about what you're thinking about. Change that thought pattern and see how quickly your feelings change.

Change the way you feel by changing the way you think.

Does It Matter?

by Kay Heitsch

Life is short. Do stuff that matters. ~ Deep Life Quotes ~

I found this quote in "Deep Life Quotes". I think it's something to really think about. Are we doing stuff that matters?

Does it matter what we eat? Does it matter if we exercise? Does it matter how we think? Does it matter how we treat people? The list goes on and on...

Our Bible verse says, "Whatever you do, do it from the heart, as something done for the Lord and not for people." Colossians 3:23

Whatever we do if we're doing it unto the Lord we know that it does matter.

Life is short. Do stuff that matters.

To Heal

To heal a wound you have to stop touching it. Inspirational Quotes

When our children fall down and skin their knees as parents we always say, "Leave it alone and don't pick the scab off." We tell them this because every time they picked the scab off it would bleed and take longer to heal.

This is true in our emotional lives as well. We have to stop reliving the painful things in our lives that have wounded us over and over if we expect to heal.

Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you. 1 Peter 5:7 He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds. Psalm 147:3

God will help us heal our wounded hearts when we give our cares and worries to Him. He will heal our broken hearts and bandage up our wounds.

To heal a wound you have to stop touching it.

Uphill Downhill

You can't climb uphill by thinking downhill thoughts. Attitude Quotes

It's amazing how our attitude about something can move us uphill or downhill. Scott Hamilton stated, "The only disability in life is a bad attitude." I have to agree with Scott.

Our Bible verse is a favorite of mine. Be careful how you think; your life is shaped by your thoughts. Philippians 4:23 GNT

We need to be very careful about how we think. Our life is shaped by our thoughts.

You can't climb uphill by thinking downhill thoughts.

First Day Of Fall

by Kay Heitsch

Notice how the trees do not cling to the leaves. Fall is about releasing the old to make way for the new. ~ First Day Of Fall Quotes ~

I hadn't thought about the trees releasing their leaves to make way for the new before. However, that's exactly why they do. We can't make way for the new things in our lives if we are holding on to some dead things that are not doing us any good.

Our Bible verse says, "For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it?" Isaiah 43:19

Something new is starting! We need to open our eyes to see it. Fall is a great time to release the old to make way for the new.

Notice how the trees do not cling to the leaves. Fall is about releasing the old to make way for the new.
