Choose Love instead of fear. Choose Abundance instead of lack.Choose Hope, Faith, Trust and Peace. Know that your life is perfect now. Surrender to this perfection. The unthankful heart discovers no mercies; but let the thankful hear sweep through the day and, as the magnet finds the iron, so it will find, in every hour, some heavenly blessings!~Henry Ward Beecher~
