Thankfulness
“If you were to wake up tomorrow, with only the things you thanked God for today, what would you have?”
What an awesome question. Thankfulness in general will transform your perspective indeed. But, thankfulness to God, will completely change your life, like it did for Helen… what an amazing story.
Thanks for a great video Open Doors Australia.

Just Another Human Being?
This guy is amazing. A true humanitarian who has seen a need and changed his life to do something very practical about it.
I love his simple philosophy – “I’m just another human being, we are all the same… the ultimate purpose of life is to give.”
If you aren’t a little challenged by this guy, I think you need to have a good think about your outlook on life.

Generosity in Action
How cool is this story from CBS in the US:
Tony Tolbert, a 51-year-old lawyer from Los Angeles, proves you don’t have to be a millionaire to make a huge difference. Last week, Tolbert began lending his house to a formerly homeless family for a year while he moves back in with his parents.
