Some things I have learned:

• Relationships are the only things that matter.
• When they are intentionally redemptive we are about God’s work.
• Ask God each day for a sign that He is there.
• Then watch closely and be willing to accept it.
• If you want to be happy, be thankful.
• If you want to make others happy, affirm them.
• When I think I’m in control, I’m really not.
• When things seem out of control, God is in control.
• When you love people, you will feel pain.
• God loved us, and was willing to experience that pain.
• God is always greater than we had previously thought.
• God’s goodness comes as a gift.
• Open hearts and empty hands allow us to receive from God.
• Grace is His funds that we get to invest.
