 | Everyday for Eternity by Alyson Shedd Today was a very ordinary day. I had the choice as to whether or not to see my to do list (which comprised of errand running, dusting the furniture, making chicken soup, picking up my daughter from work, answering emails and taking my littlest ones to the park) as an endless list of boxes to check off OR to see each box as an opportunity to invest in what is eternal. |

 | The Abundant Life is Within Our Reach by Shermaine Jones It had nothing to do with the lack of things, recognition or companions. It had everything to do with my heart condition and what I valued.
