Is There Renewed Life After A Crisis - Susan Thom
I thank God for strong, independent parents who taught me to live my life as they did. They were honest, responsible, funny, serious, spiritual, and worked hard to provide their kids with a good home life. They didn't do things for us that they thought we could do for ourselves. Their theory was... ( added 2 years 248 days ago.)

Why Not Make A Peaceful Retreat Within Your Home - Susan Thom
One of the most uplifting material things we can do for ourselves and our families, is to make our home feel comfortable, and reflective of the things we love and care about. We can spend thousands of dollars and buy out some of the local stores, or we can use our heads, and reinvent the rooms... ( added 2 years 282 days ago.)

Too Absorbed On The Inside - Susan Thom
I never have known quite for sure, if there are those who think, and therefore, act, correctly all the time, and then, those who don't. I have been the latter much of my life, by the way. I had a combination of biology and being in a very rocky, intense relationship with my father. Blame takes... ( added 2 years 308 days ago.)

Do You Get Enough Positive Energy - Susan Thom
There are so many ways we can get positive energy absorbed into our being. Stepping outside opens up a whole new atmosphere, smell, and feel. I think nature is the soother of all souls. All the worries that have I been bringing with me, have drained me and dragged me down. Inspiration is the best... ( added 2 years 101 days ago.)

Sometimes, We Have To Tread Water Until Inspiration Returns - Susan Thom
I have written many articles of inspiration and hope, peace, strength, love, and faith. I have experienced those feelings of elation and power and control over my own life. I have felt fearless and creative. I was inspired to have three children whom I love with all my heart. I was inspired to... ( added 2 years 136 days ago.)

One’s Spirit Is Personal - Susan Thom
When feeling ill, such as with the flu, we can describe our symptoms to someone else. They can relate, and we work though it. We all suffer from one ailment or another. We deal with pain. We can commiserate about our bad hips or our deteriorating knees, or our depression. What about diseases like... ( added 2 years 143 days ago.)

I Know What I Need To Do God - Susan Thom
I know I need to have Faith that whatever is in my best interest, will happen. It may not be something I can foresee, but I know God always gives me what I need, not necessarily what I ask for. Each traumatic experience unravels a strength in me I never knew I possessed. The calming of the soul... ( added 2 years 156 days ago.)

How Can Inspiration Get Us To Make A Difference - Susan Thom
For me, I believe in God, a Supreme and loving light whom created mankind and is awaiting their return. I don't really care what went on before this day, just what inspires me now and lets me know there's a reason for my existence. I don't believe it's simply to procreate. In my belief system...

Where Do You Look For A Source of Energy - Susan Thom
I think all of us look towards some source of energy for our inspiration. There needs to be something that pushes us to fling the covers off, and get out of bed every morning. If not for an enjoyable job, or the responsibilities of being a stay at home mom or dad, or the need to go off to school... ( added 2 years 175 days ago.)

What If Your Message Could Be Sent To God - Susan Thom
In this technological age, we are able to contact almost anybody we want, wherever they may be. My son will be in the Air Force in Germany for three years, but I'll be able to stay in touch via e mail. What if we were able to stay in touch with our father in the same way? We could write our...

In A Wisp Of Hair, I Am There - Susan Thom
Life can be a lonely place to be at times. Situations happen, and we find ourselves alone and clueless as to what to do, or how to stop feeling depressing emotions. We try all the usual things to distract us. We try to get engrossed in a good book, but find our minds wandering and not focusing.... ( added 2 years 184 days ago.)

Where Does Our Inspiration Emanate From - Susan Thom
We wake up to the sun shining in our eyes, and hear the birds chirping, and slowly come out of our sleep, and realize, it's another day. What will we do with it? There's more to 24 hours than taking a shower, getting dressed, having coffee and breakfast, and either going off to work or starting... ( added 2 years 195 days ago.)

Has God Ever Asked for Your Permission? - Avis Ward
I've stopped trying to figure it out and just accept God's will. He knows me far better than I know myself. If I were to work for someone else, I'd be what I've learned as a second shift employee. My nights have become days. Second shift is the 11PM-7AM shift. It's 4:17AM and I'm wide awake! ... ( added 2 years 196 days ago.)

From Inspiration To Heartache To Inspiration Again - Susan Thom
Inspiration and heartache are two opposites that seem to hang out together. Something good happens in our lives, and then something that brings us heartache and pain. There’s a million examples. We get a new puppy that bring us so much joy, and one day, he gets hit by a car and is killed.... ( added 2 years 199 days ago.)

Can Your Faith Lift You Out Of The Depths Of Despair - Susan Thom
Most of us have very strong beliefs and rigid boundaries. We believe in a God or a power greater than ourselves, and we try to be good people. We treat others the way we would want to be treated-most of the time. We sacrifice for our loved ones, and never let them know. (they know!) We try to... ( added 2 years 204 days ago.)

I Dream. You Dream. We all Dream of Big Things! - Holly Christine
Perhaps I can credit Disney movies for my belief in big dreams. As a child, I honestly believed that proper etiquette for expressing yourself was best done with a song: a song for happiness, a song for sadness, a song for every emotion. Because Sleeping Beauty sang and Cinderella danced into... ( added 2 years 210 days ago.)

Sometimes, It’s Just You And Me, God - Susan Thom
There is almost nothing compared to a good friend we can confide in and bounce off ideas. They always seem to know the right things to say. Our mood can be lifted and some pressure released. Our anger calms down and we may even become more understanding of the opposing side. Friends are... ( added 2 years 216 days ago.)

There Is A Rhyme And Reason To Life - Susan Thom
We are born without our control. Although there are many who believe we choose our parents, and I may be one of them, it still appears that without our approval, or choice, we are physically born. For the next eighteen years, most of us have little control over our lives as we depend on our... ( added 2 years 239 days ago.)

Is The Burden On Us - Susan Thom
Faith can be proven is so many ways, but usually, not until the crisis or problem is over. While we are in the midst of something, we may believe with all our heart, mind, and soul that something good is going to happen. We weigh out all our reasons; we've been good; we've helped others; we... ( added 2 years 257 days ago.)

Inspiration And Hope, The Two Main Ingredients - Susan Thom
There are times when life's problems and relationships dim our spirit and cloud our minds. We may feel like spending all of our time wrapped up in our soft cotton sheets and down comforters. Nothing seems to get us moving. Watching tv and drifting off to sleep now and then is sometimes all we can... ( added 2 years 265 days ago.)

The Light Within Can Fight The Darkness Without - Susan Thom
There will always be situations and people and predicaments that are going to cause us stress and frustration. No one should be led to believe life is going to be a fair playing field. Just because my mother told me not to pull others’ hair, didn’t mean other’s parents did the... ( added 2 years 275 days ago.)

Faith Stimulus Package - Faith Walker
“And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence , we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.” The quote above is the last line of the Declaration of Independence, the historical document... ( added 2 years 278 days ago.)

This Too Shall Pass, But What About Now - Susan Thom
If we believe in " this too shall pass " , then we must also believe in keeping our spirits up when times are rough. We may not have the means to take a trip to a beautiful secluded island, but there are things we can do to weather the storm. We can rely heavily on the important things, those... ( added 2 years 288 days ago.)

What Makes A Person Noble - Susan Thom
The thesaurus describes noble as, " Of gentle birth. " I think there are many characteristics that come to mind. Honesty is at the forefront. Can you trust this person? Do they keep their word, even when it is difficult to do so? Can you count on them to make good on their promises, or do they... ( added 2 years 304 days ago.)

Don't Ever Give Up - Susan Thom
I awakened from a sound sleep at one a.m. I was in my twenties, and was on a sick leave from my job at the post office. I had been having problems with my eyes hurting, and was staying in my old room at my parent's home. My mom was a nurse, and wanted to keep an " eye " on me. I had been going to...
