Sometimes, I literally have nothing on my mind to use for a Monday Motivation. When this happens, I search for a quote to either inspire a post, or to simply share with you. Today, I’m sharing this quote:
That is true, is it not? So, don’t worry about how fast you’re going to reach your goal. At least you’re making progress and are not just standing or sitting around.

Who said firefighters only fight fires? They can do other things too, like giving a crib to a mother in need.
See, firefighters were responding to a distress call about a baby struggling to breathe. Turned out, the call wasn’t very serious. However, the firefighters saw that this baby didn’t have a crib. So, after talking to the mom about it, they…
“I asked her if she had a crib; she said no,” said Costa, “and I asked her if she would like one, and she was very positive and said that she would really enjoy it cause she had no other means to get another crib.”
“So, at that point it was 3 o’clock in the morning. We cleared that call and came back to the station,” said O’Shields, “got a crib, went back to the house, put it together, my partner put it together.”
That’s great. Turns out, this is something that happens.
“And if we find a baby who’s sleeping with their parents, and a mom is unable to find a crib, get a crib, borrow a crib, we’re able, through a partnership with the Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies of Broward County and Cribs for Kids, to get them a crib,” said Carroll.
Awesome stuff. The entire story is neat.
Wednesday Word. A short sermon followed by my commentary.
We really do need to learn how to say goodbye and let go of people in our lives that aim to suck us into their hole of despair.
I do want to add that saying goodbye does not mean that you no longer care for that person’s well being. My comments actually are from my book and the chapter called “Let It Go”. I’ll link you to that post.
Anyway, you have to let people go; but that person still needs help. I like to say “love from a distance”.
I struggle with this all of the time.
I don’t like to fail, so I don’t usually try.
However, we should be embracing failure. Failure can be a way to tell us that “that way doesn’t work” not “I suck”.
Learn from failure and embrace the good that comes from it so that you can be a better person.
So, go out there and try. Give it your all. And, if you fail, then you fail. It doesn’t mean you lost. It doesn’t mean it’s impossible.
Yay.

Ah, there’s something awesome about a group of people helping their fellow man.
A man was standing in the doorway of the train when he lost his footing and fell between the train and platform. The other passengers and station employees then proceeded to tilt the train to get the man out.
The whole thing was caught on video. I watched it and you can watch it here. It was freaking awesome.

That’s pretty interesting that Jesus will always look for the lost. In the video, Kevin used the lost sheep parable. We could also use the Prodigal Son as well in terms of when we decide to come back, Jesus is just as happy and always welcoming with open arms.
When Abraham was trying to get to his nephew in a doomed city, he went back and forth with God asking if there were even just one person living for God in the city, would it be destroyed. God said no.
It’s all about the one person. These stories and more show that God cares about each and every single one of us. And, in the event that we are lost, He will come looking for us. He gets sick with concern for us. “I’m just one person” So? He’s made you with a purpose. Before you were a physical thought, God made a plan for you.
Jesus won’t give up on you during your down times so you shouldn’t give up on yourself.
