Bearing Fruit - S.H. Payer  LIVE EACH DAY TO THE FULLEST

"I depend on God alone; I put my hope in him. He alone protects and saves me; he is my defender, and I shall never be defeated. My salvation and honor depend on God; he is my strong protector; he is my shelter. Trust in God at all times, my people. Tell him all your troubles, for he is our refuge. Psalm 62:5-8 (Good News Bible)

Live each day to the fullest. Get the most from each hour, day, and each age of your life. Then you can look forward with confidence, and back without regrets.

Be yourself - but be your best self. Dare to be different and to follow your own star.

And don't be afraid to be happy. Enjoy what is beautiful. Love with all your heart and soul. Believe that those you love, love you.

Forget what you have done for your friends, and remember what they have done for you. Disregard what the world owes you, and concentrate on what you owe the world.

When you are faced with a decision, make that decision as wisely as possible - then forget it. The moment of absolute certainty never arrives.

And above all, remember that God helps those who help themselves. Act as if everything depended upon you, and pray as if everything depended upon God.

Prayer:   Lord, knowing that you are my shield and protector, may I welcome each day with anticipation and joy in the unknown that lies ahead. Give me understanding of what I am to do, and gratitude for all your blessings. Amen.
