The Best Me
We need be no more than anyone else is, nor any less. We just need to be “the best me” we can be.

A Garden
Life is like a garden. The more effort we put into it, the more beautifully it grows. But if we abandon it, weeds and thorns will overrun it.
Where do we get the seeds – ideas and inspiration to make our garden flourish? We need to look to the One who is the landscaping artist of it all.

Exertion
We can exert ourselves physically and mentally with work, or spiritually with meditation and prayer. But, regardless of what we want, we must exert ourselves.
