Abraham Lincoln said the best things!

"And in the end it's not the years in your
life that count. It's the life in your years."
- Abraham Lincoln


What a great quote to find first thing on a Sunday morning as we are blessed to begin a new week. It seems to me that we should be especially forgiving as we head for church. The scriptures do say that we have to make good with our neighbor before we approach the altar of God. Lest you think you have to immediately go out and hug every enemy in sight, we don't have to like everyone or be their great pal but we do have to love the potential for Jesus to work in and through them. Hey, extending a kind word to someone you have issues with will come back to you in some way tenfold - in a good way. Besides, why ruin a glorious day which starts with a visit to church? Every day we wake up, is God giving us a second chance.
