PENNIES IN HEAVEN…

For the one who stores treasures on Earth, death is loss, but for the one who stores treasures in Heaven, death becomes gain.

— Unknown —

  What is your treasure looking like these days? Are you storing it on earth or in heaven? I believe the best way to figure those questions out is to step back and take a look at what you are doing with your treasure.  Do you primarily invest in your own wants and needs or…

Merry Christmas!

I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys.

— Charles Dickens —

  Very interesting thought by Mr. Dickens.  It’s as if it is the one time of year we all get our values aligned (for the most part) with Christ’s. Go figure, after all it is His birthday. All the past week of quotes I’ve been sharing on EagleLaunch will become every day living if you…

In the end…

In the end, only three things matter: how much you loved, how gently you lived, and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you.

— Buddha —

  Great words to live by and a perfect recipe for serenity. If you find yourself under stress and in duress, step back and inventory how well you are loving, living and letting go. P.E.A.C.E. Jay@EagleLaunch.com Titus 3:2, “To speak evil of no one, to avoid quarreling, to be gentle, and to show perfect courtesy toward all people.”  (ESV)

Be happy about the success of others and success will most likely be yours. Care about others and they will most likely care about you. Be kind with your words…

Give it away…

“There is a mythical law of nature that the three tings we crave most in life–happiness, freedom and peace of mind–are always attained by giving them to someone else.”  ~Peyton C. March I love this quote and totally agree and it causes me to ponder whether the opposite is also true:  “The 3 things we…
