On faith and love…
“It’s not my fight.
It’s the Lord’s fight.
I have to lay it down sometimes more than once a day. When I do, it’s so much better.
People say, ‘Oh, you’re so good. You have such a positive attitude.’ And, I think, ‘What’s the alternative? Be mopey and miserable?’
Maybe it’s because it’s just not in my personality, but it’s just a place that I don’t go. You know, because of my faith.
And because I know that my attitude and my stress level have a lot to do with my ability to fight.”
“When I feel like I’m encouraging other people at the center, it helps me. It blesses me to give words of encouragement or a pat on the back.
It get a lot out of loving other people.
I give hugs and positive words of affirmation. The reward in that is as much as I hope it is for them.
It does me good to not worry about ME so much.”
