The Importance of Being There
I have much to write to you, but I do not want to use paper and ink. Instead, I hope to visit you and talk with you face to face, so that our joy may be complete.—2 John 1:12 (NIV)
The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.—Psalm 24:1 (NIV)
Norman Vincent Peale said, “There is no power in the world equal to spiritual power.” He asked us to think about the sight of spring sunshine streaming through a window and how the earth awakens this time of year with fresh green grass and fragrant flowers covering the earth.

Our Heavenly Father, guide me to live on the teachings of Jesus that have the power to change my thinking, to change everything.
